Sports Journalist, Dan Kweku Yeboah has stated that the Ghanaian populace is dissatisfied with the New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration due to President Akufo-Addo’s lack of decisiveness in handling issues.
Speaking to the media, he emphasized that Ghanaians could have celebrated President Akufo-Addo’s achievements, but his failure to hold certain Ministers accountable has tarnished his reputation.
He stated, “The government is facing these challenges because President Akufo-Addo couldn’t take decisive action with some of his Ministers. People are frustrated with the ruling government due to the conduct of certain Ministers.”
He specifically criticized Health Minister Adwoa Safo, Roads Minister Kwaku Agyeman-Manu, and Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta, stating that they have not met the expected standards for their roles.
He further elaborated, “For instance, the Roads Minister should have been replaced a long time ago. How can he propose charging for the use of modernized toilets? The Finance Minister should have been replaced as well. When a pastor mismanages funds, we don’t dissolve the entire church; we bring in a new pastor. As for the Health Minister, we all witnessed the issues after Covid-19. He claimed that equipment at Kotoka International Airport disappeared, and the Auditor General’s report revealed questionable land purchases in the Volta Region for millions of dollars. Yet, how much does land cost in East Legon?”
His comments align with the apology issued by Member of Parliament for Dome-Kwabenya, Adwoa Safo, to her constituents.
Adwoa Safo had issued a sincere and unconditional apology to her party in a brief two-minute video posted on her Facebook page.
She stated, “I was facing personal challenges as a mother and a woman. I want to take this opportunity to ask for your forgiveness for any actions on my part that may have tarnished the party’s reputation. As the saying goes, ‘To err is human, and to forgive is divine.’ I seek your forgiveness.”
However, the sports journalist maintained that, under normal circumstances, both the NPP party and the government should have taken action to remove Adwoa Safo from Parliament much earlier, as “wrong is wrong, and right is right.” He believed that her apology at this point came too late.
