“The National Integrity Award scheme is a crucial step in promoting integrity in the country by recognizing and honoring individuals who have demonstrated exceptional commitment to ethical conduct, transparency, and the fight against corruption.
“By this initiative, we aim to inspire a national movement where integrity is not only expected but desired and rewarded as we recognize and award men and women of integrity,” he said.
In addition to the National Integrity Award, Speaker Bagbin announced the introduction of the National Vulture Award, which will name and shame individuals deemed to have the lowest levels of integrity.

Therefore, apart from the National Integrity Award that will be given to men and women of integrity, there will also be what is termed the Vulture Award, which will be bestowed upon individuals considered to have the lowest levels of integrity in the country,” he stated.
