Renowned Pan-Africanist and South African politician, Julius Malema, has expressed concern over the present condition of Ghana under the leadership of Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
Addressing the youth of Ghana and other African nations during an event organized by the AriseGhana Movement in Accra on Tuesday, January 23, 2024, Julius Malema, the Commander in Chief of the Economic Freedom Fighters, expressed deep concern over the prevailing levels of corruption in the country.
He emphasized that the escalating levels of corruption pose a significant threat to Ghana’s democracy, once regarded as a beacon for many African nations.
He added that the current leadership of Ghana has failed in its duties which is why the country that led the liberation efforts in Africa is now being dictated to by the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
“Ghana has had democratic elections in succession, which are peaceful. Of course, it experienced a bit of difficulty at some point, but since then Ghana has become the most celebrated democracy.
“But the democracy of Ghana is threatened by corruption. A corruption that made sure that Ghana does not pay its international debt,” he said.
The firebrand South African politician added, “As a result, Ghana is unable to self-determine because everything else is dictated to Ghana by IMF and the World Bank because the current leadership fails to honour their obligations”.
