General News of Sunday, 28 March 2021Source: www.ghanaweb.comThere is a link between the smuggling of gold, the financing of political parties and their activities in the country, says an Economist and Political Risk Analyst, Dr. Theo Acheampong. 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. With the country losing up to some $5 billion yearly, as recent reports have indicated, Dr. Theo Acheampong has maintained that is owes to the fact that political activities, politicians and people in the place of power are unable to fight them. This, he added, is because they benefit directly from them and so it becomes hard to bite the hands that feed them. Dr. Theo Acheampong made this known on the Saturday, March 27, 2021, edition of Newsfile on the JoyNews channel.
