Also, he added that there continue to be strong forces working from the inside of the corridors of power, gaining from the illicit trade and so it makes it a difficult task to fight the system. He, therefore, wants the matter of insider manipulations addressed head-on to get the situation mended, else, it will only be synonymous with chasing around the bush. There's a lot of insider manipulation, there are people within the system that are gaining it for their own advantage and that is like entrenching corruption as well. At the core is the political economy, at the core is how we incentivize people, and if we don't address the insider manipulation bit, the involvement of the state side actors, unfortunately, we'll just be chasing around the bush," he said. Dr. Theo Acheampong was speaking on Saturday, March 27, 2021, edition of Newsfile on the JoyNews channel.
