This thing about corruption...

I know I am in the minority. I have said it before that I do not believe that fighting corruption should take precedence over encouraging creativity. If these were the only two issues facing mankind and I was pushed against the wall and asked to select which of the two I'd like to campaign for as a priority, of course I would settle for the latter. The devil, we are told, finds work for idle hands, and that's where I will leave it...
An organization called Transparency International has just published a report in which it has accused Ghana's health care delivery sector of "corruption at various stages of its delivery process." Doctors, nurses, pharmacists, civil servants and all other personnel in the sector seem to have been caught in this broiling cauldron of iniquity. Doctors too? Hmmm.
But I thought health workers occupied the most pious position on the social ladder of probity. Something must be wrong then. Is it Jonathan Swift's Yahoos allover again?
It's not for me to engage in self-loathing, but really you cannot help smelling s..t if you are always hanging around toilets!
