Former national chairman of the People’s National Convention (PNC) and convener of AriseGhana, Bernard Mornah, has expressed concerns about the excessive monetisation of Ghana’s democracy.
In an interview with Joy Prime’s morning show in Accra on Monday, Mr Mornah highlighted the nexus between corruption and the potential rise of terrorists in Ghana.
He stated that rampant corruption within the government would lead to Ghana being controlled by criminals in the future.
The political enthusiast also warned that if the pervasive corruption within the government persists unchecked, it could pave the way for criminal elements to seize control of Ghana, jeopardising the nation’s stability and integrity.
“If we don’t curb overmonetisation, this democracy will be taken over by terrorists,” he warned.
As to how possible it would be, Mr Mornah said these terrorists might use natives of the country as stepping stones to help them win elections and take over control of its affairs.
“These terrorists will fund native people to win elections; they will buy their way out,” the AriseGhana Convener added.
“Criminals, drug dealers, and money launderers would find a way to take over the system of the country,” he said.
He emphasised the possible effects of such actions on the democratic process and national governance. — myjoyonline. com
