As YEN.com.gh reported earlier, the president said without equivocation that his administration achieved a lot in fighting the canker despite growing concerns that he lacked credibility when it comes to fighting corruption.
“Am I satisfied that we’ve been effective? I will say yes,” he told CNN on Monday, May 3, 2021. “A lot has been done, and it is reflected in Ghana’s growing position and rankings of corruption in the world,” he added.
YEN.com.gh has put together the most critical views Ghanaians have shared on the story so far.
See the post below:
Kwadwo Asante said: “Nana has not shown any seriousness. The prof is right. To me, this president is the worse in this 4th republic.”
Albert Osei Assibey stated: “Nana please stop blowing your own trumpet and ask the citizens about the level of corruption in the country. By the way, any update on the Double Salary?”
Addo A Anita observed: “Corruption in this government is just like their modern toilet infrastructure...We can see them everywhere...”
Amankwah Ebenezer said: “I bow in shame to your administration, to whom much is given much is expected. Ghanaians gave our all by ousting the NDC government for your govt but you turn your back on us. When Mahama was beating us with rod you came with scorpions.”
Hamza AL-Sudais continued: “Sometimes I feel disgrace to to say to my foreign colleagues that I’m a Ghanaian due to this wicked n shameful government we are living in to! Sick nation! It’s a pity.”
Eric Kofitse stated: “He is doing a lot oooo by fighting people who fight corruption. Dumelovo and special prosecutors.by use ironic reason like retirement when he himself is retired but working.”
Ntori Clement opined: “If this is indeed the best you can do in terms of corruption fighting or better put it satisfying to you then I’m afraid for Ghana. Eiiii Nana Addo! You have just admitted failure.”
In other news, the Member of Parliament (MP) for Assin Central, Kennedy Agyapong, descended heavily on the #FixTheCountry campaigners, describing them as propagandist tools of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC).
The maverick lawmaker, therefore, urged members of the governing New Patriotic Party to strongly challenge the narrative that the country is headed to the abyss under President Akufo-Addo.
According to him, the country has seen considerable progress under the stewardship of President Akufo-Addo, and that the president’s achievements need to be strongly and effectively communicated to the general public for their appreciation.
He, thus, urged the officials of the administration and the entire NPP fraternity to be very vocal in that regard.
