That is why corruption is getting worse, he says, because for example, when you work for someone and the group they come to power, they expect what they will get and that'show everything goes.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with GhanaWeb, Kyei-Mensah-Bonsu said:
“I repeat everywhere that nobody in politics is Santa Claus. If that person gives you something, from a cola, a drink, an envelope that should translate into money, if it'sphysical money, you know that person is not Santa Claus.
The NPP MP went on to saythat for parliament for example, candidates for the House of Assembly have been seen siphoning wealth and food to get votes and all this leads to corruption.
When these people enter theparliament and their members are looking for them, they also try to cut corners in thegovernment to meet theseneeds, he added. "So, when he comes to parliament and his party wins and gives him a job,where he is able to give a contract for example, a contract will be cut.
"There are no two ways to do this and a country will not get its money when people complain that politicians are doing corrupt work, but we are cultivating corruption from the beginning, people and - come in. So it is very dangerous, if you are not careful, soon, people with big pockets will take over our parliament,” he continued
