Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Private legal practitioner, Martin Kpebu, has said that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo lost the fight against corruption when he appointed his relatives as ministers of state.<\/b><\/p>\n

To him, Mr Akufo-Addo\u2019s assurance to fight corruption when he was in opposition was mere rhetoric.<\/p>\n

Regarding the Corruption Perceptions Index report by Transparency International, released on Tuesday, January 30, ranking Ghana in the 70th position out of 180 countries monitored, Kpebu said \u201cIt tells you Akufo-Addo and his administration lost the fight a long time ago. We will never recover as long as his family and friends are still in government<\/p>\n

\u201cAkufo-Addo is interested in grandstanding, he came in with his brothers and sisters as ministers and that is a sign of corruption. Ofori-Atta, Amoako Attah, Atta Akyea. Some are saying they are qualified but candidate Akufo-Addo told us that family and friends\u2019 governance is corruption.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs for the family and friends, it is all over Akufo-Addo\u2019s administration, he stressed.<\/p>\n

CPI is most credible way to measure a government\u2019s fight against corruption \u2013 Mary Addah<\/p>\n

The CPI Report further revealed that 90 percent of the countries in Sub-Saharan Africa scored less than fifty.<\/p>\n

The average score for African countries is still quite low, at just 33 out of 100.<\/p>\n

\u201cGhana scored 43 out of a clean score of 100 and ranked 70th out of 180 countries and territories included in the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI) 2023 released today, 30th January 2024 by Transparency International (TI).\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis marks the fourth consecutive year of stagnation in Ghana\u2019s anti-corruption efforts, as indicated by the CPI,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n
