National Communication Officer of the National Democratic Congress Sammy Gyamfi has accused President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo of fighting anti-corruption crusaders and institutions.
According to him, the series of corruption scandals that have happened under the Nana Addo led administration have benefited the President, a reason he has proven not to be incorruptible as touted by his party.
Addressing a press conference in Accra on Thursday, Mr. Sammy Gyamfi said “The fact of the matter is that President Akufo-Addo is the chief beneficiary and patron of the unprecedented levels of corruption we are witnessing today. As we often say, he is the biggest promoter and enabler of corruption in his government. He is himself corrupt, as evident by the highly-inflated Ameri-Novation deal he personally approved. His quest to build his family’s legacy and financial war chest supersedes his desire to develop Ghana. That is why we call him a family builder and not a nation-builder.”
While citing the suspension of the Auditor General Daniel Yaw Domelevo and the harassment of investigative journalists, he added that “Rather than being a fighter of corruption, President Akufo Addo has become a fighter of corruption fighters. Today, every critical voice of dissent that dares to talk about the unprecedented corruption under this government has been suppressed.”
The opposition National Democratic Congress further asked the New Patriotic Party not to take credit for the implementation of the Free Senior High School program.
The party argued that books that are currently being used under the program were procured by the Mahama administration.
