Ato Forson, the Minority Leader, has condemned the Akufo-Addo administration for its involvement in widespread corruption, which has had detrimental consequences for the nation.
He remarked that the level of corruption under this government has been both staggering and alarming.
During his address in Parliament on January 6, during the dissolution of the 8th Parliament, Ato Forson underscored the numerous scandals that marked the country throughout the government’s eight years in power.
He also pointed out the difficulties encountered by the minority caucus in their efforts to prevent the government from continuing its corrupt practices.
“The scale of corruption and waste during this period has been staggering, alarming and heart-wrenching. The more we on this side [minority] spoke out, the more corruption and wastage festered.
“Scandals became a daily occurrence as we were treated to blatant abuse of office and plundered the public office. We also saw the misuse of COVID-19 funds, the malfeasance that characterised the 13th African Games, GH5 million national service ghost names scandal. We saw the brazen attempts to sell off state hotels to a cabinet minister and a free-for-all grabbing of state lands.”
