Ga Mantse, King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, has expressed strong disapproval over the recent scandal involving the former Minister of Sanitation, who was discovered with large amounts of cash at home.
He stressed that such behavior is unbecoming of a public official and should be condemned by all responsible Ghanaians.
In an interview with Citi FM on Sunday, June 2, King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II emphasized that those engaging in such conduct do not have the nation’s best interests at heart.
He asserted that these behaviors reveal a lack of patriotism and disregard for the country’s welfare.
The King firmly stated that individuals exhibiting such self-serving tendencies are unfit for leadership positions.
He expressed concern that permitting such individuals to lead would lead to further exploitation of state resources for personal gain.
“It beats my mind how someone who says they love this country so much could stash so much money in their room.
“Corruption is everywhere. I believe that the government must find a way to stamp its authority on corruption.”
King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II also highlighted the initiatives of the Ga Mantse Foundation in supporting education in Accra.
He mentioned that his office has donated thousands of starter packs to school children, aiming to enhance their educational experience.
“I could’ve used all that money to live in luxury, buy a V8, or do whatever. But I’m interested in the welfare of my people,” he added.
