The president stated that for corruption to end, it would require strengthened institutions to tackle the issue, as well as for the citizens to rein in their efforts as well.
The president was speaking at the 90th anniversary celebration of the Achimota School, when he said, "A
consistent fight against corruption in public life will bring the
transformation we look for. Make your presence felt by setting the
example of hard work and incorruptibility. After all, you are the
leaders anyway and your example should make a difference. Obviously, the
conditions in 1927 are different from the 2017 state of affairs in our
country. And we should not expect the Achimota of today to be the same
as attended by our hosts – the class of 1966-67."
Nana Akufo-Addo further stated, "We
should build on what we have and constantly improve on our
institutions. But it is also important that we fight to maintain the
characteristics that gave places like Achimota the winning formula."
