I'll meet 'corrupt' MPs In Their Court – Prof. Adei

Professor Stephen Adei

“…At least 8 in 10 politicians in Ghana are glorified thieves, although almost every need of theirs is met by the state. We have to stop it,” he said. But members of the House have described the comments as baseless and an attempt by the former lecturer to gain cheap popularity. Reacting to the threats by the MPs, Professor
Adei told Starr News Ibrahim Alhassan he is ready to face the committee anytime he is invited. “I have also heard what they are saying on radio just like everyone else. So we have to await for their move then we will respond accordingly. I am told they are taking me to their court, so when we get there, it will be telecast live so you will hear,” Professor Stephen Adei, former Rector of the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA),  was quoted as saying.
Members of the lawmaking chamber have threatened to drag the academician before their disciplinary Committee to answer questions about his unprovoked attacks on them.  “The other day somebody asked me a question and I was as
so shocked. The person asked whether I gave bribe to Parliament for them to pass GIMPA’s law. Not knowing that now if you want Parliament to pass anything else, not only do you bribe the committee, but after they have gotten their share, they ask you where is our ‘laptop’? In other words; you haven’t made provision for our girlfriends. It’s time now in Ghana for us to rise; and it for us to lay the foundations of righteousness in the next generation. Train your children to
be servant-leaders wherever they are.  he stated. Meanwhile, the deputy communications director for Parliament Kate Addo has described the comments as unfair and inappropriate.
