The State has a role to play, so does the body of Christ\u201d,<br \/>\nshe stressed, adding that, \u201cthis evidently places a burden on the Christian<br \/>\ncommunity to curb this menace.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She noted that the corruption<br \/>\nphenomenon \u201cundermines democratic governance and national development, and<br \/>\nmilitates against the peace and stability of our nation\u201d thus the campaign is<br \/>\nintended to motivate all Bible-believing Christians to genuinely and firmly<br \/>\ncommit to serving the Lord and the country by unashamedly taking a bold and<br \/>\nopen stand against all acts of impunity, corruption and unethical behaviors in<br \/>\nboth their public and private lives.<\/p>\n<p>In her remarks, Appeal Court<br \/>\nJudge, Justice Gertrude Torkornoo, disclosed that, Ghana, in 2018, placed 140th<br \/>\nout of 189 countries and territories after studies on human development were<br \/>\ncarried out.<\/p>\n<p>The cause of the extremely<br \/>\nslow rate of human development, she said, is the \u201clack of identification of<br \/>\nstrong values and ethical contents around which this nation can run.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThus dishonesty in public<br \/>\nlife, stealing and lying have become behaviour that we have considered<br \/>\nculturally normal \u2013 translating into the billions that the nation is supposed<br \/>\nto lose from corrupt practices and the degrading of every form of resource\u201d,<br \/>\nshe posited.<\/p>\n<p>President of FGBMI Ghana, George<br \/>\nPrah, also said the campaign is targeted at people placed in the market place \u201cto<br \/>\nbegin to do something about this scourge of corruption, unethical values and<br \/>\nlack of integrity\u201d which have eaten deep into the fabrics of the country<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cWe identify it\n<\/p>\n<p> as being something that cannot be dealt with only from the top as<br \/>\nhas often been proposed. It can only be dealt with when the persons who have<br \/>\nbeen perpetrators or victims of the menace at some point in time take a stand<br \/>\nto fight it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>By Nii Adjei Mensahfio<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A group photograph of dignitaries at the ceremony CHRISTIAN GROUP, Full Gospel Business Men\u2019s Fellowship International (FGBMI), has launched an anti-corruption campaign dubbed, \u2018Unashamedly Ethical.\u2019 The campaign, launched at the Accra International Conference Center (AICC) on Friday, August 23, is aimed at instilling ethics, values and clean living at the work place, in public offices [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":693934,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-693933","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-politics"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 -
