CIVIL SERVANTS ARE MORE CORRUPT THAN POLITICIANS…KUMAH FARMS CEO.

Ghanaians across the country have been urged to change their attitudes and behaviour and learn to be faithful in all their dealings if the country was to develop.
“The need for Ghanaians especially, civil servants to desist from corrupt acts and serve the country wherever they found themselves faithful devoid of corruption cannot be over emphasized”.

The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Kumah farms Complex, Mr.Martin Kwaku Kumah who gave the advice in an exclusive interview at his farm at Domeabra near Kumasi, stated emphatically that civil servants are the most corrupt  in the country than the politicians but always Ghanaians are quick to blame the politicians in the country.

Explaining that, it  is the civil servants who teach the few politicians who are elected as Members of Parliament (MPs),appointed as Ministers or deputy Ministers, Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief Executives to be corrupt.

According to him, the 275 MPs and about 80 Ministers and Deputy Ministers as well as the 216 DCEs cannot mismanage the country’s funds or steal it without the compromise of civil servants.

“I know of a civil servant who bought paint at an amount of Ghc 3,500 for the work on Government buildings and requested that a receipt of GHC 8,000.00 rather be issued to him and how do you blame this one on politician? I am saying that without faithfulness on the part of all Ghanaians it will be very difficult for any Government to develop the Ghanaian economy, so we all need to be faithful  and do the right thing at the right time in all our endeavour”, he stressed.

He alleged also that, it is the civil servants who teach the politicians how to loot the state coffers. Asking how come that, almost all Ministers appointed to Ministry of Sports especially have always faced problems with corruption issues from Mallam Issah,Hon.Mohammed Mubarak Muntaka ,Hon.Afriyie Ankrah among others but these civil servants who are in the system before the appointees(politicians) are still working at the Ministry but the politicians have suffered for  such corruption allegations!
