Nobody is punished for causing financial loss to the state, how then does it deter future occurrences? It has become an annual ritual. It gets published, citizens lambast the culprit, and then the report is thrown into the dark.<\/p>\n<p>How can the nation be losing such huge resources because of the negligence and corrupt practices of a few? We won\u2019t get anywhere as a country until a scapegoat is apprehended.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 It is very sad how we keep borrowing only to allow people to chop the monies we borrow for free. Ghana is indeed sick and needs healing.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Corruption is gaining notoriety for serving as the benchmark for future misappropriation. This is sad and frightening.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/1567008371\/posts\/pfbid02C35zELDBM1fj1qxUTkhum6bDVr9qPKmvnBeptDcxuHzb2ruPPFDArxS1t88ceDLEl\/<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/f99f72cef38844f5946f7e716da91deb\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/c08e3cc417094e2cbf8dd21d9e69b4d8\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/892424064ece417aa79474c245cb0134\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Content created and supplied by: BATACH (via  Opera<br \/>\nNews )<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<p class=\"copyright hide\">\n<span class=\"content\">    ,  .   ,     .
