Speaker Bagbin announces National Integrity Awards to honour anti-corruption champions

Speaker of Parliament Alban Bagbin has announced the National Integrity Awards. This initiative will recognize citizens committed to ethical conduct and transparency.

Before Parliament was adjourned indefinitely, Speaker Bagbin explained the award scheme. It aims to promote integrity and accountability across Ghana.

He stated, “The National Integrity Award scheme is crucial for our country.” The awards will honor individuals who fight against corruption and demonstrate ethical behavior.

Bagbin hopes this initiative will inspire a national movement. He wants integrity to be expected, desired, and rewarded in society.

Alongside the National Integrity Awards, he introduced the "Vulture Award." This award aims to expose and shame corrupt public officials.

Bagbin emphasized that while integrity will be celebrated, those lacking it will be named. He said, “The Vulture Award will go to individuals with the lowest levels of integrity.”

He described this initiative as a transformative step for accountability. It seeks to strengthen ethical leadership throughout the country.
