705 The wife of a former Vice-President, Mrs Matilda Amissah-Arthur, has observed that the public's lack of interest and knowledge of governance and the activities of government institutions have contributed to insufficient public accountability and the attendant cases of corruption in the country. She said where there were no proper structures to deal with accountability, corruption was most likely to be rife. “The lack of citizen education, as well as the lack of interest and knowledge of the activities of government institutions contribute to insufficient public accountability," she said. “People must be held accountable for their actions no matter who they are, and if that is done, everybody will be alert to do the right thing,” Mrs Amissah-Arthur said in a presentation during a webinar on accountability and corruption.
