<p>Mr. Ntori bemoaned that the youth are among the hardest hit by corruption in Ghana. &#8220;This practice limits their access to education, job opportunities, and fair public services,&#8221; he maintained.</p>
<p>The Ghana Anti-Corruption Coalition was lauded for sensitizing a considerable number of people through its local Accountability Networks in 2024.</p>
