The alleged anti-corruption scandal that’s currently unfolding in Ghana, concerning media personality Anne Sansa Daly, has cast a bright, international spotlight on a very common, crippling dilemma—the falsification of credentials both in professional and academic spheres.

Mr. Afriyie’s move is in response to the revocation of her appointment to serve on the Board of the National Health Insurance Authority (NHIA).
