Mr Dumelevo was speaking at a conference organised by the Crusaders Against Corruption in Accra.
He stated that the youth should be concerned about corruption, pointing out that failure to do so could worsen the country's inequalities.

Mr. Dumelevo said that corruption thrived in Ghana due to the absence of meritocracy in public sector appointments. He urged the youth to fight for equal resource distribution, stressing that holding officers accountable might help achieve that objective.

Dr Richard Amoako Baah, a Political Scientist, said the country's centralisation in governance contributed to the prevalence of corruption and called for immediate action.

He said the current situation, where the President of the country was the sole decision-making authority, facilitated the act of corruption.

Dr Baah suggested that an equitable distribution of power through constitutional reform could help to reduce corruption in the country.

Dr Nyaho Tamakloe, a former diplomat, asked the youth to uphold the country's ideals, ethics, and values by resigning from any position when the appointing authority breached certain principles.
