ghana: Is corruption the real problem?

During his inaugural address on January 7, 2001, President Kufuor declared that his government would pursue a policy of "Zero Tolerance for Corruption". It was an effective sound byte which was immediately latched on to by the nation. But as the months roll by, we can begin to ask, says this commentary in the Accra Mail, whether it is feasible, or even desirable to predicate human development on just the total elimination of corruption.
