Let’s introduce death penalty as punishment for corrupt officials, says presidential candidate

The presidential candidate of the Begin Ghana Party (BGP), Edward Ohene Kye, is proposing the use of the death sentence as a punishment for individuals who engage in certain corrupt practices in Ghana.

Kye believes such measures could deter others from engaging in corrupt practices thereby eradicating the canker in the country.

The presidential candidate of Begin Ghana Party wants a referendum organised to vote in favour of the death penalty for corrupt officials.

Speaking to Caleb Ahinakwah on TownHall Talk on Asaase 99.5 Friday ( 12 April) Kye said “We are proposing a sort of referendum to peg the death penalty to corruption so that we will eradicate it.”

Kye added, “… Instead of doing the right thing, our elders are amassing wealth for themselves, we cannot continue this way, we need to save our motherland.”
