“The scourge of monetisation which has engulfed our body politic still manifests...some victors won through monetary and material inducements instead of a commitment to the ideals...We have to be on the lookout for self-centred personalities who managed to slip through the net due to revolting levels of monetary influence. Let us not allow such people to dilute, contaminate and weaken the progress that has been made." ~ Former President Jerry John Rawlings
