Forget about human right, hang two or three people: Corruption will stop – NPP’s Botah

Former Deputy National Youth Organizer of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Elvis Banoemuleng Botah has suggested a punitive measure which will finally bring an end to corruption in the country.

According to him, Ghana should forget about human right and hang to death persons caught engaging in corruption in the country.

Mr Botah said every person found culpable of corruption or found to have superintended on the canker depriving Ghana of its fortunes must suffer same fate.

“Look, we look forward to that leadership in this country that is able to say enough of corruption, enough of it. If I become President today, trust me, let hang one or two corrupt officials. It either you have been directly involved in corruption or you have superintended over activities of corruption, let us hang”, he said

“Let forget about human right and hang two or three of them at the Independent Square. It part of the liberation of the Ghanaian people. Let us hang two or three people. Let us let two or three people go through very serious punishment for act of corruption and see whether people will continue to peddle corruption,” Mr Botah said.

He made the suggestion on Good Morning Africa on Pan African TV on Thursday, September 8, monitored by GhanaPlus.com.

Our current woes is a result of our corruptible nature – Botah

He explained the corruptible nature of Ghanaians, most especially, leaders is what is responsible for the present financial woes of the country and noted it is only serious punishment that will serve as a deterrent to act.

Mr Botah described the country’s decision to secure a $3 billion loan from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) when its tax leakages amount to same and more as a failure adding that the loan will not solve the country’s problems if corruption is not curtailed.

“So our going to IMF for an amount that tax leakages alone could have really given even more than in the first place is a huge failure for us, is a huge failure,” Mr Botah said.
