The sensitisation was a partnership programme by the NCCE and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit?(GIZ) with support from the European Union.  

The education saw representatives from the Ghana Cooperative of Tailors and Dressmakers Association, market women, and civil society organisations?participating.  

Mr. Oppong Mensah, the Ningo-Prampram NCCE District Director, in an interview explained that the rule of law was a system of government where every?citizen was under the same laws.  

Mr. Mensah explained that all activities by either?state or private entities are governed?by the constitution. 
 

He stated that the NCCE aimed at inculcating the meaning of the rule of law and the fight against corruption in the residents while interacting with them to come out with?suggestions on?how best the community could?help fight corruption and defend the constitution. 
 

He said that citizens could only know their responsibilities and safeguard the country when everyone understands the governance system of the country.  

Mr. Mensah added that the NCCE would?intensify its sensitisation activities on the constitution and the civic responsibilities of citizens,?ensuring?that the community understands the 1992 Constitution.  

He noted that the commission also often meets the marginalised groups, schools, and religious organisations?to educate them?on the issues while?making use of the local media to reach more people and achieve the commission’s mandate.  

He advised them to report any act of corruption witnessed or encountered, while cautioning them against any corruptible act, as the law would deal with them when apprehended. 
 

Madam Abena Fosuwaa Amoah, an investigator from the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice?(CHRAJ), reiterated that public education on the fight against corruption was very important.  

Madam Amoah noted that corruption occurs in different ways, depriving the nation of its growth and development.  

She stated that the Whistleblower Act protected informants from being exposed after reporting a corrupt case and therefore urged the community not to be afraid when reporting corrupt practices, adding that they must also?educate themselves on their rights and responsibilities as citizens.  

Madam Monica Duamor, a representative from the Ghana Cooperative Tailors and Dressmakers Association,?said that the education enlightened?them as citizens, adding that they were willing to report all corrupt practices for the betterment of the nation.
