A man&nbsp;reaps what&nbsp;he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr Bawumia noted that \u201cthere is so much economics embedded in this scripture which is telling us not to invest in flesh through corruption. We know that the flesh will eventually rot when you die so if you are an investor will you invest in something that will eventually rot?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, Proverbs 29:4 reads, \u2018A King gives stability to his nation, but one who demands bribes destroys it\u2019 he referenced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bawumia enumerated scores of policies and programmes the government has put in place to fight corruption including the digitisation of the economy through address system, ports, the Ghanacard, passport office, DVLA, GRA,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymailgh.com\/ssnit-scandal-supreme-court-sets-ernest-thompson-others-free\/\">SSNIT<\/a>, NHIS, Lands Commission, Ghana.Gov platform, and others as evidence of Government\u2019s commitment to fighting corruption. These digitization efforts have reduced and in some cases eliminated bribery and corruption in the provision of public services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Vice-President also alluded to the fact that the appropriate state agencies like the Office of the Special Prosecutor, CHRAJ,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymailgh.com\/steve-raymond-dapaa-addo-eoco-gets-new-director\/\">EOCO&nbsp;<\/a>among others are being given the needed financial support to fight corrupt officials and agents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He noted that in all of this, society must also play its part in the fight against society, and called for collaboration from all to make the fight easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Source: Daily Mail GH<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Send your news stories to\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:dannyboy744@gmail.com\">dannyboy744@gmail.com<\/a>\u00a0and via WhatsApp on +233 266777777<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Vice-President,&nbsp;Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, has urged the church to continue to use the pulpit and religious platforms to partner the state to fight corruption and facilitate development of the nation.
