Government serious about Anti-Corruption Plan – Batidam
Mr. Daniel Batidam, an Adviser on Governance at the Office of the President, has stated that the Government is utterly committed to the full implementation of the National Anti-Corruption Action Plan (NACAP).
NACAP is a 10-year plan that has been accepted as a strategy for fighting corruption.
Mr. Batidam, who was speaking at a media dialogue session on NACAP in Wa, gave the assurance that the plan would not be allowed to gather dust as some people had already started alleging.
He said the country was doing its bit as far as the fight against corruption was concerned, adding that a full implementation of the plan would yield very positive results for the nation.
The Governance Adviser, therefore, urged the media who is a stakeholder in the implementation of the plan, to play its role critically to ensure its effective implementation.
Mr. Richard Quayson, the Acting Commissioner of the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ), explained that NACAP was not a project but a programme of action put together by a working group of experts and anti-corruption practitioners in order to help bring down corruption.
He said the vision was to create a sustainable democratic society founded on good governance and imbued with the highest sense of ethics and integrity.
The objective was to build the capacity of the public to a high level of intolerance for corruption in the country, he noted.
“If we want to build a good society, then we must all be very aggressive against corruption,” he stated.
Mr. Charles Ayamdoo, the Director of Anti-Corruption of CHRAG, said the media had to understand the document very well in order to play its crucial role of educating the public effectively.
Dr. Musheibu Mohammed Alfa, the Deputy Upper West Regional Minister, reiterated the need for journalists and other media practitioners to be well abreast with the document to enhance its dissemination.

My name is Abubakari Sadique Osmani son of the late Killbuwura Asansa II. This ferry were brought in since the early 1970s. The only work I can remembered on the ferry was that, initially the ferry was on two side and they made it one side both Ndewura Jakpa and Nana busemuna. Since then nothing has been done and the authorities are telling us that we should expect good all the time no. The ferry was using single (1)machine instead of two for the part 15yrs.
The ferry was too old and the must be drainage I would have that, this time that the water had gone far to the main lake the must be a drainage. This can help the ferry to work effectively.
