This article examines the increasing problem of corruption with its accompanying "hostage-taking" in the district assemblies, which are the core institutions in Ghana's democratic decentralization program. I argue that the problems are both self-inflicted and out of the greed and pervasive corruption that have engulfed the political system in Ghana. The article concludes by recommending certain measures that must be put in place if the situation is to be brought under control
