Comment by Stephen Kwabena Acheampong on February 10, 2011 at 11:41pm: Hi fellows, I'm glad to be part of this team "Global Youth Against Corruption". I am of a strong conviction that laws and statutes governing acts of corruption and its correspondent punishment in the constitution of various governments in our countries should be strictly adhered to. I believe that Institutions should be strengthened with resources that would enable them fight corruption to the core.
