Attempts To Tag My Gov’t Corrupt Will Fail – Akufo-Addo
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has stated that the desperate
efforts to stigmatize his government with corruption will not wash.
According to him, several attempts have been made to smear his government with corruption.
He added that most of the allegations made against his government are all lies and unfounded allegations.
A number of corruption scandals have rocked the Nana Addo-led
government in the last 10 months including the bribery scandal involving
the Energy Minister, the A-Plus corruption scandal and the recent 100,
000 dollars extortion allegations levelled against the Trade and
Industry Ministry.
It was recently also revealed that the Special Development Initiatives ministry wanted to build a website with GHC800, 000.
Most of these allegations were made known by the minority in Parliament.
Speaking at a durbar in Koforidua Friday, Mr. Akufo-Addo said “Boakye
Agyarko [the Energy Minister] went for vetting at parliament and was
accused of bribery. We looked into it and it was spurious. It was a lie.
There was no truth whatsoever in it.”
“There are two hardworking men in my office who were accused of
corruption – my two deputies.
The CID looked into it but there was
nothing. CHRAJ, with a boss John Mahama appointed, also looked into the
allegations but there was nothing there.”
“Now there a saying Alan Kyeremanten also went and extorted money but
we looked into it and there is nothing there… The desperate effort to
stigmatise my government with corruption is not going to work.”
