General News of Monday, 16 November 2020Source: www.ghanaweb.comCurrent corruption, nepotism worse than what triggered June 4 revolution - Asiedu NketiaGeneral Secretary of NDC, Johnson Asiedu NketiaAsiedu Nketia, the General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has observed that the level of corruption and nepotism currently being witnessed in the country is worse than the conditions that triggered the June 4 revolution which was led by Jerry John Rawlings. The NDC scribe has realized that the ‘lack of the spirit of positive defiance’ among Ghanaians has made corruption, nepotism, and abuse of power attractive to politicians and public officeholders. The situation is however different now, Asiedu Nketia has noted. “What is missing in our democracy which is creating problems of corruption, nepotism, and lack of transparency is the lack of the spirit of positive defiance. The best way for us to remember President Rawlings is to go back that principle and pledge to live by them,” Asiedu Nketia said.
