The African Union Advisory Board Against Corruption praised Ghana for fighting corruption and building good government. Board chairperson Seynabou Ndiaye Diakhate spoke to reporters Monday at Ghana's Parliament building. She said Ghana's anti-corruption work meets African Union standards. The visit helps strengthen and check legal systems that battle corruption. The mission follows Ghana's 2004 signing of the AU Convention Against Corruption.
Diakhate said the review checks how well Ghana follows the rules and finds legal gaps that need fixing. The group also shares ideas and celebrates Ghana's anti-corruption steps. Parliament's Speaker explained Ghana's detailed efforts to fight corruption and improve government practices. All countries that signed the convention must complete this review process.
Presidential Advisor Francis Dodoo said Ghana chose the African Union peer review to set up a starting point for anti-corruption work. He noted the President remains committed to battling corruption because it hurts development and community unity. Dodoo stressed that this exercise will make Ghana's anti-corruption efforts stronger.
