NDC Accuses Akuffo Addo Of Promoting Corruption

Published

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has accused President Akuffo Addo of normalising corruption under his era.

According to Sammy Gyamfi, the party’s national communications officer, Mr Akufo-Addo’s handling of the BOST corruption scandal, “smacks of grand collusion and cover up of epic proportions.”

He added, “the fact that till date no one is standing prosecution for this pungent corruption scandal which has caused the nation huge financial losses, bears Akufo-Addo out as the biggest enabler and promoter of corruption”.

Sammy Gyamfi recounted that on January 18 2017, “five (5) million litres of fuel was contaminated at the premises of the state-owned Bulk Oil Storage and Transportation Company (BOST) by the mixture of diesel and petrol, and sold to unlicensed companies namely, Movenpina and Zup Oil under dubious circumstances”

Ironically, this is a man who rode on the back of an anti-corruption campaign into office, promising not to tolerate or countenance same under his administration. However, after being elected into office, he has normalised corruption and made it very attractive in his government. He has defended and cleared his corrupt appointees of several grievous corrupt acts against the state such as the BOSTGATE scandal”, Mr Gyamfi intimated.

It is for this reason that the President has earned the accolade, ‘the Chief corruption clearing agent’. Like similar other stinking corruption scandals that Ghanaians have witnessed under this regime, the Corruption Clearing Agent, President Akufo-Addo has been under the delusion that by coming out to give flowery speeches about corruption, he will succeed in exonerating and whitewashing his administration from the corruption tag that inextricably hangs on his neck like a medal, but that has failed and Ghanaians now know him for who he really is.”
