Celebrated journalist with media giant CNN, Richard Quest in an interaction with Ghana’s finance minister, ken Ofori-Atta has questioned the government’s commitment to fighting corruption and being transparent.
Although praising the Akufo-Addo led government for some successes chalked Mr Quest told the finance minister that the country is still grappling with the issue of corruption and lack of transparency.
“President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo won an election with a task to fix that economy and despite the country’s long running battle with corruption, there are encouraging signs. A few months ago, Twitter chose Ghana over Nigeria to set up its first Africa base. They also received high profile endorsement with Steve Wonder saying he is moving to Ghana to escape racial injustice in US.
“That is the problem you have at the moment. Everybody loves Ghana. Ghana is perceived as a stable and is doing better but you still have this reputation for corruption and lack of transparency and you now have this this additional issue of rebuilding this economy after COVID-19….,” Richard Quest told Ken Ofori- Atta.
