Ada East NCCE Charge Women to Spearhead Fight Against Corruption

The Ada East Office of the NCCE, in partnership with Transparency International Ghana (TI-Ghana), has organised an anti-corruption educational programme to underscore women’s role in promoting integrity and accountability.

The event, held at the Presbyterian Church main auditorium in Kasseh, brought together women from across the district to discuss the harmful effects of corruption and explore practical ways to safeguard their communities.

Officials from the NCCE educated participants on the various forms of corruption and their impact on national development. They emphasised the importance of honesty, transparency, and civic responsibility, while guiding women on safe and appropriate channels for reporting corrupt practices.

Participants were encouraged to reject corruption in all its forms and serve as advocates for accountability within their families and communities.

The programme was graced by notable traditional and civic advocates, including the Chief of Muslim Communities and Chairman of the Social Audit Club (SAC) in Ada East, Nene Sampson Ayisah Adjovu, as well as the Queen Mother of Gbantana and Co-Chairperson of the SAC, Naana Asi Akplehe. Both leaders made meaningful contributions, reinforcing the call for collective action against corruption.

Facilitators highlighted the significance of empowering women as agents of change, noting that their influence within households and communities makes them vital partners in the fight against corruption.

The initiative indicates efforts by the NCCE and TI-Ghana to strengthen civic responsibility, promote good governance, and encourage active citizen participation in building a corruption-free society.
