The National Democratic Congress [NDC] Member of Parliament [MP] for the Juaboso constituency in the Western Region, Kwabena\u00a0Mintah Akandoh believes corruption can never be dealt with under the Nana Addo-led administration.<\/strong><\/p>\n

He was emphatic that the President has done little to fight the canker after winning the presidency.<\/p>\n

Speaking on NEAT FM\u2019s morning show \u2018Ghana Montie\u2019, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh accused the President of appointing ‘his family to the presidency and that is corruption. How can he fight it?’<\/p>\n

He added that various members of his family, close friends and assocites have all been appointed into government with a simple mission of looting on behalf of the President.<\/p>\n

According to the\u00a0Juaboso MP, corruption has escalated since the reign of President Akufo-Addo.<\/p>\n

“There is nothing he can do about corruption, all his people are untouchable, it’s a game plan he sow himself,” he told Mc Jerry Osei-Agyemang.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Vitus Azeem, the former Director of the Ghana Intergrity Initiative has said Ghanaians were deceived into thinking that Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo winning the 2016 presidential elections will make everything better in the nation, but the case today is different.<\/p>\n

Vitus Azeem says transparency and accountability, the tools needed in the fight against corruption are missing in the Akufo-Addo administration.<\/p>\n

A former General Secretary of the Christian Council of Ghana, Rev. Dr. Kwabena Opuni-Frimpong has also expressed doubts about the country’s seriousness to eliminate corruption as he believes successive governments have not demonstrated enough commitment to root out the canker.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
