Senior Minister Yaw Osafo Marfo has stated that all those who work less than the usual eight hours are corrupt.
Corruption is not only in terms of monetary values, but poor attitude to work that stalls productivity and cripples the country’s economy, he said on Tuesday at a stakeholders meeting on Ghana Beyond Aid in Accra.
“If you are to work eight hours and you work 2 hours and you are paid, what is it? Are you not cheating the system?” he asked
He added that working less than the usual eight hours is not the way to go as it also amounts to stealing the company’s resources which is also termed as corruption.
Yaw Osafo Marfo said in spite of the laws put in place in Ghana to end corruption, it will take a change of attitudes and mindset of the individuals to fight this menace completely.
