‘It’s a lie’ – Stop boasting about fighting corruption – Franklin Cudjoe tackles Akufo-Addo

President of IMANI Africa, Franklin Cudjoe has accused President Nana Akufo-Addo of peddling falsehood over his comments that fighting corruption has been the cornerstone of his government.

Delivering a keynote address at the commissioning of the Law House on Monday, June 10, President Akufo-Addo said his government’s commitment to fight corruption fueled the administration to make several investments to combat the canker.

The President noted, “Despite the ugly noises, the fight against corruption has been the cornerstone of my administration."

Reacting to this in a post on Facebook, Franklin Cudjoe stated that it’s a lie.

He insists that President Akufo-Addo must stop boasting about fighting corruption, adding that the many investments the president talks about have had zero impact.

“It is a lie! My dear friend, please stop boasting about fighting corruption. All those investments you speak of are mere do-little efforts that have had ZERO impact on Ghana's ranking on the Global Corruption Perception Index. Your best record is your predecessor's worst!

“The theatrical comedy of errors engineered in the case of the missing millions of $$ some appointees stash away feed into the grand theft of Africa's resources, estimated at $4700 per second using 2005 AU statistics. Please let us meet and go over our notes,” Franklin Cudjoe said in his post.
