THE
GOOD AND EVIL IN ANAS’ EXPOSÈ
Bribery
blights lives. Its immediate victims include firms that lose out unfairly. The
wider victims are government and society, undermined by a weakened rule of law
and damaged social and economic development. At stake is the principle of free
and fair competition, which stands diminished by each bribe offered or accepted

Kentumi:
Good to see you Anobil; it’s been a great while.
Anobil:
I am glad to see you K; we haven’t seen each other for years.
Kentumi:
Charlie, where have you been hiding nowadays, now that the cash is flowing?
Anobil:
Where else K will your paddy be other than moving within and without Ghana
for...
Kentumi:
For corruption related conferences and workshops, I think.
Anobil:
Your guess is spot on; I have a burning desire for eradication of corruption in
Africa.
Kentumi:
Hahaha....you’re
still embarking on that your impossible mission.
Anobil:
Come on K, be a bit optimistic. Nothing is impossible unless it is tolerated.
Kentumi:
What is your take on Anas’ journalistic style?
Anobil:
I have heared a great number of high and low profile people criticising him for
clandestinely setting evil traps for people with the aim of naming, shaming and
jailing them but I don’t share in their view. I think his work is filing a
great gap in our quest to fight and uproot corruption. Those who water down serious
allegations of corruption against them and shamelessly call for hard-core
evidence are now having more than they can carry. How else can one prove corruption
in a society where transparency is nearly a taboo?
Kentumi:
But why should he go about recording people secretly without their permission?
Anobil:
K, can you fault a fisherman who succeeds in catching a fish with a bait? You
see the issue is not so much about the method one uses but the wanton and greedy
craze of those devouring our resources. What is your take on a secret recording
unfolding a plot to kill your only son, K? Do you think that information is
relevant to prosecute the alleged evil rogues?
