Politicians Are Corrupt Because We Also Corrupt- Okyeame Kwame
Rapper Okyeame Kwame has expressed his belief that corruption is deeply rooted within every individual in our nation, and this is evident in the politicians we elect to represent us.
The renowned ‘Rap Dacta’ has argued that eradicating corruption would pose a significant challenge for any president.
According to him, any leader who attempts to combat corruption and eliminate this detrimental issue from our political and social fabric would face dire consequences, potentially even losing their life within two weeks.
Okyeame Kwame further stated that neither the ruling New Patriotic Party nor the National Democratic Congress (NDC) possesses a remedy for this problem.
He firmly believes that the ultimate solution lies within the citizens themselves. These profound insights were shared during an interview with YouTuber Kwadwo Sheldon.
“NDC/NPP cannot help Ghana; family is what can help Ghana. The problem affecting us as a people is a problem of the mind.
“The corrupt system cannot fix itself; it makes a lot of people rich and happy. If a president wants to come and fight corruption in the country right now, he will be dead in 2 weeks.
“It’s not about pay; it’s not about money; it’s about morality,” he said.
“The politician was put in power by you and me; they are a representation of us, so if they are corrupt, it shows that you are corrupt.
“I agree that politicians are causing problems, but as you fight the politicians, train your child not to think like a politician.
“My vision is that we train our children to be incorruptible so that they will grow up and do away with this corrupt system. That is the only way I think Ghana would develop. Let us focus on training the young ones now,” he said.
When questioned about the current crop of politicians still in power, Okyeame Kwame stated, “They will die”, indicating that there is a need to train children to be selfless.
