Drobonsohene Nana Dwamena Dankwa Dwobisaw II, a prominent traditional leader in Ghana, has proposed a unique solution to combat corruption among politicians. He suggests that politicians should swear by the gods of their hometown to fight corruption, believing this oath would scare them from misusing public funds.

Nana Dwamena Dankwa Dwobisaw II’s proposal stems from his observation that politicians have not been held accountable for protecting the public purse, as they face no consequences after stealing from the state. He argues that taking politicians back to their hometown to swear with ancestral deities would instill fear and accountability.

Nana Dwamena Dankwa Dwobisaw II shared his thoughts when independent Presidential candidate and Leader of Movement for Change, Hon Alan John Kwadwo Kyerematen, visited him at Drobonso in the Afram Plan Constituency, Ashanti Region. This proposal has sparked interest in Ghana’s fight against corruption.

It’s worth noting that similar concerns about corruption and the need for accountability have been raised by other organizations, such as the Danquah Institute, which emphasizes the importance of respecting laws and the Constitution. However, Nana Dwamena Dankwa Dwobisaw II’s proposal offers a unique perspective on combating corruption by incorporating traditional values and ancestral deities.
