Amidu in his latest news release alleged that there are people in the public sector who are sabotaging government\u2019s fight against corruption, sighting the challenge in retrieving the GH\u00a251.2 million from businessman, Alfred Agbesi Woyome, as a basis for his argument.<\/p>\n<p>How best can the country tackle corruption?
