President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has come under fire from renowned broadcaster Kwasi Kyei Darkwah, often known as KKD, for failing to keep his commitment to preserve the public coffers.
In an interview with GhanaWeb-reported Onua TV, KKD questioned why the president, who appears to have genuine intentions, has surrounded himself with really dishonest people.
The president, he continued, has also broken his vow not to use his office as a means of personal enrichment.
He says that this is happening because businesses owned by some of his appointees have seized control of all the rules applied by governmental institutions and are now benefitting themselves.
“Ghanaians are suffering, however despite what you warned us, why will you watch?
According to what you mentioned, there won’t be any theft, corruption, or graft in your administration.
According to what you said, no one will become wealthy under your administration.
“We believed you when you said these things, and we voted for you to become president. Why is it that you speak the truth, but you have surrounded yourself with people who tell lies, are thieves and corrupt to the core,†he said in Twi.
The broadcaster alleged that SIC is being collapsed by people with selfish interests.
“Enterprise Insurance is taking over the job of State Insurance and SIC. They are collapsing SIC so that they will enrich themselves. They want state institutions that belong to all of us to collapse so that they and their families will be the only people doing well,†he added.
