Deputy General Secretary for the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Koku Anyidoho has said corruption under Akufo-Addo is going to be worst with the way things are going now.
According to him, as immoral act is part of corruption, appointing 110 ministers is immoral act as this will put pressure of the public purse; adding that the government agencies are filled with families, friends and party cronies.
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has stated unequivocally that he will not shield any public official found to be engaged in acts of corruption or malfeasance, but will ensure that the laws of the land are applied fully, without fear or favour.
According to President Akufo-Addo, the recent news of the arrest of some Customs officials responsible for the loss of some GH¢1.2 billion in revenue to the state is part of the efforts his government is making to block revenue leakages at the country’s ports.
“I want to assure you that, so long as I have the opportunity, and I have breath and power, I am going to do something about it, so we can stop the leakages. I know that if we stop the leakages, we will have the money to do our own development. We are not going to be dependent on some people coming to say they are going to give us charity or grants. We will finance our own development ourselves,” President Akufo-Addo stated.
The President stressed that “when people get caught up in the net, I am imploring people not to come to me and say that ‘Oh! Nana, this man is my relative, so spare him’. That is the problem in Ghana. You find people going to speak to your wife with the hope of trying to influence you. I am not going to listen to that, because my concern is Ghana and not one or two individuals.”
Reacting to President Akufo-Addo on corruption on UTV’s “Mpu Ne Mpu” section on the 'Adekye Nsroma' programme, Koku Anyidoho averred that listening to President Akufo-Addo’s tape on fight against corruption shows no seriousness as he was laughing about it.
“When I listen to the tape it looks as if he is not serious because he was laughing about it. Corruption takes many forms; immoral act is also corruption and appointing 110 ministers is immoral act. He is putting pressure on public purse and the government agencies are filled with families, friends and party cronies,” he jabbed.
He reiterated that corruption under Akufo-Addo is going to be worst with the way things are going now.
He however asserted that President Akufo-Addo will be a one term president just as former President Mahama; thus, in 2020, the NDC is coming back to power as Ghanaians are now aware the NPP came to power through lies and falsehood.
“The same way Ghanaians voted out NDC in 2016, they will vote out NPP in 2020; that I can assure you because the reason they voted against NDC, they will vote against NPP in 2020," he added.
He therefore revealed that the NDC members did not come out to vote in 2016, paving way for the NPP to win the election; adding that NDC is in talk with the aggrieved members to correct their mistakes.

when will this fat son of a soldier understand that he is not Akuffo Addo's mate.
Koku should wait till his black, thick "shua-balls" and that of his corrupt NDC folks are grabbed by govt....then he will know how serious Nana is. He was in a comfortable lead five months ago. Now see his miserable life?
So NPP suporters cannot for once tackle the message instead of the messenger aaba. Only insults each and every time. Who is more Ghanaian than another. If NPP had kept quite in opposition who would have heard their message and voted for them. Koku is a politician, his work is to talk, talk, and talk until his party comes to power in 4 or 8 years time. Be civil when you insult people without thinking ok
Koku what is even your problem? Cant you guys leave this man alone to work? Does his name Akuffo Addo frightens you? Running when no one is chasing you, u seems to be afraid of something, which Ghanaians are yet to know.
OH, KOKU, SON OF A RESPECTABLE RETIRED GENERAL AND AN OFFICER AND GENTLEMAN, IS HALLUCINATING AGAIN. OBVIOUSLY HE HAS, AS USUAL, OVER-INDULGED IN COCAINE SNORTING, CRACK COCAINE SMOKING, WEED BURNING AND WATERED ALL DOWN WITH BOTTLES OF PALM AKPETESHIE, HIS PREFERRED CHOICE!!!! HOW DARE YOU, QUESTION THE PRESIDENT'S ABILITY TO FIGHT CORRUPTION?? NANA ADDO IS NOT LIKE YOUR SUPER-CORRUPT MAHAMAOOOOOOO!!!!!MAHAMA PAID LIP-SERVICE TO FIGHTING CORRUPTION, AS HE ACTIVELY ENCOURAGED HIS HENCHMEN TO STEAL, GRAB, LOOT AND SHARE!!! NANA IS FOR REAL!!! JUST BE CAREFUL YOU DONT GET CAUGHT IN ANY CORRUPT MALFEASANCE!! LIKE HOW YOU WILL SMELL PAPRIKA PEPPER!!!!! JUST PRAY YOU DONT GET CAUGHT!!! THAT IS ALL THE ADVICE FOR YOU!!!!
I doubt Koku is normal. He seems to live in a bubble! Was Mahama able to fight corruption? He actually precided over one.
This man needs immediate attention at the facility near the Holy spirit Cathedral. How can you be condemning somebody who is campaigning vigorously against corruption and leave out somebody under whose supervision CORRUPTION is the order of the day. Recent revelations of corrupt practices like what has happened at the National Communication Authority, Ghana Gas and Ghana Standards Authority. All these happened under the watch of Ministers appointed by a President who was not capable of fighting the cancer. If I were Koku Anyindoho I will keep quiet and see the outcome of these revelations rather than what is happening. KOKU YOUR MESSAGE IS RATHER INCRIMINATING YOUR PAST NDC GOVERNMENT.
This Koku guy is still in a comfortable lead...... I think he need to have his head check. He only speak when he is drunk and talk from his a*nus. Just wait when the prosecutions starts you will feel it that we are fighting corruption. NDC kriminals.
koku five months in opposition and you are crying like a baby.enjoy your radio station in London.
Say again JJ. Koku will have to reduce the intake of w.e.e else one day, hmmmmm.
