Former Minister for Science and Environment, Professor Frimpong Boateng, has raised skepticism about President Akufo-Addo's declaration of victory in the fight against corruption.

He believes that there is still much work to be done to eradicate the deeply rooted corruption in Ghanaian society.

During an interview on the JoyNews AM Show on Wednesday, April 3, Professor Frimpong Boateng expressed concern about the widespread nature of corruption.

He highlighted instances where party members demanded bribes in exchange for votes. Given these challenges, he argued that the Akufo-Addo government cannot be considered successful in addressing corruption.

"We have not started the fight against corruption. Corruption is the biggest challenge that we face. Not in this country but in Africa as a whole. It is the biggest thing that is worrying us.

"It is the denominator in everything that we do. The system is already corrupted when you need to bribe delegates to elect you as MP or flagbearer or whatever it is. So we have to be serious with the corruption fight and whatever it entails."

"We have not started the fight. I don’t think the President can say or has said he has won the battle against corruption. He won’t say that. He knows that there is a fight to be fought and battles to be won."

In a recent interview with JoyNews on Thursday, March 14, 2024, Dr. Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe, a founding member of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), made a bold statement, suggesting that President Akufo-Addo has overseen the most corrupt administration in Ghana's history.

Expressing his disillusionment with the President's leadership, Dr. Nyaho-Tamakloe emphasized a substantial gap between the President's campaign promises to combat corruption and the actual record of his government since taking office in 2017.

"We promised the people of this country that we shall put a stop to it. He's been now the worst in the history of this country," he said.
