Former majority leader in Parliament, Alban Bagbin, has described the Ghanaian politician as a corrupt being, simply due to the fact that our system itself is corrupt.

Speaking on Starr chat Wednesday, the longest serving MP in Ghanaian history said no matter the good intentions one has in entering into politics, the system would corrupt you.

Bagbin was speaking to Bola Ray, who asked him if he is corrupt himself, to which he answered in the affirmative.

“As a country we have to look at this… we should all admit we are all corrupt, it’s a fact, because of the system,” Bagbin said.

“Yes I am [corrupt]” he answered when asked. “Look we have Reverends, we have Pastors who go through the system, and they are corrupted.”

Bagbin said the President, despite his tough rhetoric on fighting corruption, would not be able to do anything about it because the system has already corrupted him. Bagbin said all those who have invested in Akufo-Add0’s campaigns since 2008 would now all come back and get something in return.

“When people invest in you and you are given office, of course that is one of the reasons why I said His Excellency will have it tough fighting corruption…, because he fought the first world war [Election 2008], second world war [Election 2012] and third world war [2016], sponsored by people.”

“Is he saying that those people are Father Christmas, no. As a country we have to look at this…”
