Are you conceding defeat? – Ablakwa chides Akufo-Addo over failed corruption fight

North Tongu Member of Parliament, Okudzeto Ablakwa, has sharply criticized President Nana Akufo-Addo’s administration over its perceived failure to effectively combat corruption in Ghana. 

Ablakwa’s remarks come amid growing concerns and public dissatisfaction with the government’s efforts to tackle corruption.

In a scathing rebuke directed at the President, Ablakwa questioned whether Akufo-Addo‘s administration will now concede defeat in the fight against corruption, given the failed efforts. 

“Are you conceding defeat?” Ablakwa rhetorically asked, highlighting what he sees as a lack of meaningful action by the government to root out corruption and hold perpetrators accountable.

Ablakwa’s criticism comes in the wake of numerous corruption scandals that have tarnished the reputation of the Akufo-Addo administration, including the controversial “Galamsey Fraud” saga and allegations of corruption within various state institutions.

The issue of corruption has been a long-standing challenge in Ghana, with successive governments pledging to tackle the problem but often facing criticism for their perceived inability to make significant progress. 

Despite promises of zero tolerance for corruption, many Ghanaians feel disillusioned by the persistent allegations of graft and the apparent lack of accountability for those implicated.

President Akufo-Addo’s administration has yet to respond to Ablakwa’s criticism.
