The Executive Director of the Media Foundation for West Africa (MFWA), Sulemana Braimah says President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has been a disappointment in his promised fight against corruption.
He was blunt on NEAT FM’s morning show, 'Ghana Montie' that the President has been pretending to be fighting against the canker.
“ . . President Akufo-Addo has not made up his mind to fight corruption, he knows about whatever is happening . . . Is he not in the known of the so many things going on? Who has been prosecuted? . . . Charles Adu Boahen has been sacked, fine . . . but the President hasn't made up his mind to fight corruption, people will continue till their caught, if you are caught fine, other than that we are in . . . that is the situation that we are in," he said.
Corruption is believed to have taken the center stage in the Nana Addo-led government with many calling for some heads of Public Services to be fired.
According to Sulemana Braimah, the Office of the Special Prosecutor set up to fight exploitation of the state purse has failed.
“We were here when Martin Amidu resigned from that post . . . with Kissi Agyebeng, I don't know how it is going to end . . . if the people who set up that office are not willing to fight corruption, what is your duty there as a Special Prosecutor?” he questioned.

i agree with him, so long as the man who looted 5 million Euros on one airbus deal is still walking free, the president hasn't done enough. the SP is more interested in chasing coins than chasing the real looters
Is Sulemana Braimah losing his focus as a media advocate or what. Is he now part of the NDC communication team? He should tell all Ghanaians because this was not what he was doing during Mahama's time or is sheer tribal politriks.
so you expect him to do what? he has refer him (CHARLES ADU BOAHEN to ASP or you want him to arrest him by himself which is against the laws of the state. mr.brimah focus on the institutions who suppose to expedite the process so that can prosecute the cuprite.
Well said. The President has been very disappointing in tackling corruption in the country Very sad indeed especially looking at his posture on corruption when in opposition Its just unfortunate.
