The Reverend Kennedy Okosun, Executive Chairman of KRIF Ghana Limited, has been commended by Tema-Based Industrialist and civil rights advocate Dr William Mensah-Ansah for years of relentless and selfless anti-corruption advocacy.
Dr Mensah-Ansah said fighting corruption demanded a collective effort, requiring everyone to be vigilant and actively involved, not just governments or specific groups, but all citizens, businesses, and organizations
He noted, “Consistently, Rev. Okosun has used various platforms, both through social, academic, religious, business, and other stakeholder engagement, to trumpet the need for collective action against corruption.
Speaking to the media on Thursday, Dr Mensah-Ansah noted: “Rev Okosun, through KRIF Ghana Limited, continues to stand against corruption and corrupt practices and recently launched public sensitization among the youth on corruption; this deserves commendation.”
Dr Mensah-Ansah noted that the recent United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) working document on the title “The role of citizens in fighting corruption” aligns with the active role in the fight against corruption embarked on by Rev. Okosun. He explained that a UNODC document, indicated that citizen participation in relation to anti-corruption efforts encompassed dynamics and approaches that may differ from citizen participation in other public processes.
