The running mate of the opposition Democratic National Congress (NDC), Professor Naana Jane Opoku-Agyemang, has stated that while former President John Dramani Mahama prosecuted his appointees for corruption, President Akufo-Addo has not subdued his appointees. to a similar course whenever such accusations are filed. Against them.
Speaking in an interaction with officials from the Ghana Integrity Initiative (GII), the local chapter of Transparency International, Professor Opoku-Agyemang said there should be established records of how leaders responded to allegations of corruption through prosecution.
He explained that such records will generate competition among governments as they strive to outdo each other for who has a better track record.
Professor Opoku-Agyemang argued that Corruption Perception Index (CPI) rankings should be linked to the governments during which rankings are made without the generalizations that often accompany them.
“When we talk about” sting operation “, it does not come from nowhere. In our previous administration, he saw our president prosecute his. Has that continued? So you see when we get to a point where we say, “oh on the IPC, we’re at forty percent and so on.” Please don’t generalize. Let us know where we were at what time. Make it some kind of party incentive, even to compete that “oh on my term, I was high.” But if you generalize that we are all, then we are all in this together, so you can relax. And that generalization, I think, doesn’t help, “he said.
“Let us know who has been able to prosecute yours and who has not,” he said.
During former President John Mahama’s tenure as president, some key government-appointed officials were prosecuted and imprisoned for engaging in acts of corruption.
But President Akufo-Addo has yet to prosecute any of his appointees who have allegedly been involved in acts of corruption.
He has regularly acquitted them of allegations of corruption.
