National Communications Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi Esq., has taken a swipe at the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia-led government, accusing it of institutionalizing and perpetrating corruption.

The post follows the release of the latest Corruption Perception Index (CPI), where Gyamfi asserts that Ghana's fight against corruption has been lost under the current administration.

Gyamfi highlighted that Ghana's best CPI performance was in 2014, during John Dramani Mahama's leadership, with a score of 48. In contrast, the worst performance in the last decade occurred in 2017 under the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia administration, with a score of 40. He emphasized that Mahama's worst score was 43 in 2016, which remains the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government's best score.

The NDC Communications Officer claimed that corruption had become a thriving venture under the current government, listing various scandals such as BOSTGATE, PDS, PPA Contracts for Sale, "Galamsey" fraud, Ameri Novation, missing excavators, missing fertilizers, missing oil, missing tricycles, Sputnik V Vaccine, COVID-19 funds, Number 12, Appearance Fee, Gold Mafia, stolen rice, and the latest SML scandal.

Gyamfi accused the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia administration of facilitating, perpetrating, and promoting corruption, leading to unprecedented financial losses for the state. He criticized the government for not protecting the public purse, as promised in opposition, and for allegedly shielding co-perpetrators of corruption from accountability.

The NDC official also alleged that instead of fighting corruption, the government had targeted corruption fighters, citing the murder of journalist Ahmed Suale, the ousting of Auditor General Yao Domelevo, the resignation of Special Prosecutor Martin A.B.K Amidu, and the oppression of journalists.

In conclusion, Gyamfi urged voters not to support a "third-term" for what he labeled the "Corrupt Akufo-Addo and his greedy cabal of family and friends." He called for accountability through voting for John Dramani Mahama in the upcoming elections.
