Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia says government is building systems through digitisation to eradicate corruption to ensure trustworthiness and promote efficient public sector management.
He said corruption thrived in a society without transparency and it was for that reason government was instituting systems to ensure transparency, accountability, discipline, trustworthiness, inclusiveness, and one which is not based on “who you know or interpersonal relationship”
Speaking at the Episcopal Ordination of a new Suffragan Bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Accra at the Most Holy Trinity Anglican Church in Accra, on Sunday, Dr Bawumia said the world had become increasingly important and nations were deliberately developing systems that cared for all and minimise the gap between the rich and the poor.

“The whole issue of corruption is one that is enveloped with sin, but we live in a society that this phenomenon is one that we need to tackle.
“Corruption thrives in the very nature of the society where there is full of darkness because darkness hides and you cannot tell who is who and where you cannot tell the identity of a person then corruption can thrive,” Dr Bawumia stressed.
The Ordination Service was attended high profile personalities including the Greater Accra Regional Minister, Mr Henry Quartey, the Minister of Trade and Industry, Mr Allan Kwadwo Kyerematen, and the Mayor of Accra, Mrs Elizabeth Sackey.
