Highlighting instances of corruption within the Presidency, Cudjoe questioned the effectiveness of initiatives like the Office of the Special Prosecutor in combating corruption.

Cudjoe’s stance underscores the importance of tackling corruption at its source, echoing the proverbial wisdom that “charity begins at home.”
He emphasized that efforts to combat corruption should prioritize addressing its institutional roots within the Presidency.
By focusing on the nucleus of corruption, Cudjoe believes that strides can be made in curbing malfeasance and preventing the misuse of public funds.
He stressed the imperative for proactive measures to prevent corruption rather than reacting after the fact. For Cudjoe and IMANI Africa, the battle against corruption starts at the highest levels of government.
