By Samuel SAMA regional stakeholder forum on anti-corruption has been held in Tamale to gather input for a new National Ethics and Anti-Corruption Action Plan (NEACAP), set to run from 2026 to 2030. A working group comprising government institutions, civil society, the judiciary, and experts has been established to refine and oversee the action plan. Northern Regional Minister, Adolf Ali John, described corruption as a major threat to democracy, public trust and sustainable development. He said the plan will be implemented through inclusive strategies designed to restore public trust and drive equitable development. Executive Secretary of the Ghana Anti-Corruption Coalition (GACC), Beauty Emefa Narteh, explained that although Ghana implemented a 10-year NACAP, corruption persisted, making the new framework necessary.
