Prominent member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Adum Bawuah, has criticised Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s administration as the most corrupt since Ghana’s independence.
During a media interaction, Bawuah expressed deep concern over the widespread corruption within the current government.
He asserted that the NPP is ten times more corrupt than the main opposition party, the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
“In a country where people are stashing money under their beds and in polytanks, Akufo-Addo’s government stands out as the most corrupt ever in the history of Ghana,” Adum Bawuah declared.
“I am part of the party, but I speak for Ghana first. Ofosu Ampofo recently had to seek healthcare in America, and I had a friend who was part of those who collected funds to pay for his bills.
The NDC is corrupt, but the NPP is ten times more corrupt,” he stated.
“The construction of a cathedral has been riddled with corruption, which has led to the project being stalled. At the Pwalugu Dam site, not even a bulb has been installed, yet we have spent $12 million on it, while Ato Forson is in court for $2.7 million,” he added.
Adum Bawuah warned that members of the current government involved in corruption will face consequences when power shifts in 2025.
Bawuah, who ran unsuccessfully for the New Patriotic Party chairmanship in the Ashanti Region during the party’s regional executive election in May 2022, expressed his concerns during a media appearance.
