Ghana: Media Urged To Expose Corruption in Society

Mr Daniel Batidam, Executive Secretary of the Ghana Integrity Initiative (GII), has urged the media to expose corrupt practices among the people entrusted with public office. Talking at an anti-corruption workshop, he said that politicians often "give cheap talk about fighting corruption...without the media holding them accountable to what they say in order to promote good governance." Mr Batidam also said that aspiring politicians were already influencing voting patterns at the primaries by giving money to gain favours from the party delegates.
