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.

hmmmm is all I can say
Where were the ndc members Koku Anyidoho? You people are just fo*ls and making a mockery of your party the more. I tell you if it hadn't been Atuguba and Kwadwo Afari Djan who handed over power in a silver platter to John Mahama and the ndc what a heck would you be in power? Even the election petition verdict of 5-4 was enough to speak volumes. Ndc do not have the members to give them power and you Koku Anyidoho were one of those who made that party unattactive to people and the important thing is ndc has no brains to govern a nation,you have no vision,no plan nothing absolutely to government a country so don't tickle yourself for the rigging machine was dismantled. The machine was the only members to help you which couldn't work that day for you because there was someone much more experienced than you and those rigging machine members can never vote again in Ghana because whatever IT expert you have we will get a better one to counter. Anyidoho did you see how Ghanaians were happy when ndc lost and NPP won? So who vote for you? You don't have but the rigging help you to power and it will never happen again.Nana di wo hene,they are confused and going mad in opposition. I can't imagine why they are calling for prosecution when the country has been assured of a special prosecutor,they think their witch hunting nons*nse will be tolerated whatever I tell you anyone who out his hand in Ghana's cookie jar will go to jail if found guilty. Ndc Continue preaching thinking that will help you kriminals,onetime he can't fight corruption another time that will be witch hunting if there are witches and wizards they will be hunted. Nkwas*afuo if you want to be rich should you put on the mantra of politics to be in government to ste*l? I piss off when I see them talking.
HE IS JOBLESS AND GOING MAD.EWE/MONSTER YOU BE A TAXI DRIVER FUUUULLL.
koku,the wee is just too much for u.
Nana can do it I partially believe so however he should start with the Judge who collected money and freed the Dreaded Delta 8, Bugri Naabu for collecting goats, cows , chicken and cash from MCDCE nominees, BNI official who refuse to arrest the Invisible force member who beats up a senior police officer in front of Flagstaff house whiles you were eating fufu and abenkwan, Boakye Agyarko for bribing his way to energy ministry, etc,etc. anything short of that is WICHHUNTING period.
Somebody should tell this watery mouth Koku to better ***barred word***. Which Ghanaians is he talking about? Does he think Ghanaians are fuuulls to vote NDC back to power?
