Professor Godfred Alufar Bokpin, a Financial Economist at the University of Ghana, says Ghana has not progressed in fighting corruption and called for constitutional reforms to help make headway in curbing the canker. He said the monetisation and commercialisation of election in the country made it extremely difficult to combat corruption. "If we look at the way our democracy is highly monetized and commercialized, it is difficult to allow such a corrupt system to elect leaders and afterwards expect honesty and integrity from them," Prof. Bokpin said. Prof. Bokpin who was speaking in an interview noted that the huge cost involved in contesting an election in the country compared to salaries received by members of Parliament vis-à-vis the demands from the constituents created a conducive environment for politicians to engage in corrupt practices to break even.
