This ranking, based on the Corruption Perception Index, highlighted the severe damage done to the public sector, which is crucial for development.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the World Bank downgraded Ghana\u2019s economic status from C to D, describing it as a &#8216;hopeless&#8217; nation.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Worlanyo, spokesperson for the Grand Coalition Ghana\u2014a group of Independent presidential aspirants\u2014attributed this to bad leadership, political witch-hunting, and inefficient public servants due to government interference.<\/p>\n<p>He cited the SSNIT scandal and the prosecution of the Minority Leader over the 2014 ambulance supply as politically motivated issues that either deprived the country of valuable property or affected the judiciary&#8217;s trust.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><em>\u201cI strongly believe that Ghana is not a poor nation. We have resources that could make us a destination to inspire others, but bribery and corruption are affecting our progress,\u201d Dr. Worlanyo stated.<\/em><\/strong> He called for the election of visionary leaders with a passion for national progress in the 2024 election.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Dr. Worlanyo criticized the sale of SSNIT Hotels, arguing that the state should attract investment to shore up its assets rather than sell them to officials. He called for an overhaul of the sale of state property to public officials.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-16611\" src=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/corruption-pic.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"630\" height=\"350\" \/><\/p>\n<p>On the current administration\u2019s plan to introduce a Bill for Free Senior High School, Dr. Worlanyo believed that providing books, computers, and laptops to students should be prioritized over enacting such a law. He argued that there is no need for a law to make free SHS sustainable.<\/p>\n<p>Describing the country as \u201ca failing state\u201d in need of new political leadership, Dr. Worlanyo emphasized that unless there is a change in political leadership, Ghana will remain in a state of underdevelopment and misery.<\/p>\n<p>Recent polls suggest that independent candidates could push the elections to a run-off against the ruling party\u2019s candidate, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, and the main opposition candidate, John Dramani Mahama. Despite their high name recognition, Bawumia is the current Vice President, and Mahama is a former president.<\/p>\n<p>Political analysts describe the December 7 vote to replace incumbent President Akufo-Addo as a crucial exercise. Bawumia has pledged to \u201cdigitise Ghana,\u201d while Mahama aims to \u201crun a 24-hour economy to rescue Ghana.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>For more news stories and articles, contact EXPRESSNEWSGHANA via email at expressnewsgh@gmail.com or WhatsApp at +233 0543 900 732.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Source: Felix Nyaaba \/\/ expressnewsghana.com<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bribery and corruption are significant factors derailing Ghana from the path of progress, according to Rev Dr. Samuel Worlanyo Mensah, an Independent Presidential candidate for [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":16610,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[82],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16609","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-general-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Bribery and Corruption Derailing Ghana\u2019s Progress - Worlanyo Mensah - Express News Ghana<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/?p=16609\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Bribery and Corruption Derailing Ghana\u2019s Progress - Worlanyo Mensah - Express News Ghana\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Bribery and corruption are significant factors derailing Ghana from the path of progress, according to Rev Dr. Samuel Worlanyo Mensah, an Independent Presidential candidate for [&hellip;]\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/?p=16609\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Express News Ghana\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/web.facebook.com\/nyaaba.felix.3\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2024-07-08T16:49:47+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/REV-DR-SAM-WORLANYO-MENSAH.jpeg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"287\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"176\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"For more information, please contact ExpressNewsGhana via email at expressnewsgh@gmail.com or WhatsApp at +233 0543 900 732\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@FelixNyaaba3\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@FelixNyaaba3\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"For more information, please contact ExpressNewsGhana via email at expressnewsgh@gmail.com or WhatsApp at +233 0543 900 732\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Estimated reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\\\/\\\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"Article\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/expressnewsghana.com\\\/?p=16609#article\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/expressnewsghana.com\\\/?p=16609\"},\"author\":{\"name\":\"For more information, please contact ExpressNewsGhana via email at expressnewsgh@gmail.com or WhatsApp at +233 0543 900 732\",\"@id\":\"https:\\\/\\\/expressnewsghana.com\\\/#\\\/schema\\\/person\\\/6b5e797531449c1dcb8747e970ceab0c\"},\"headline\":\"Bribery and Corruption Derailing Ghana\u2019s Progress &#8211;
