Private Legal Practitioner, Martin Kpebu has described President Akufo-Addo’s fight against corruption as a complete failure.
Speaking in an interview with Umaru Sanda Amadu on Face to Face on Citi Tv in Accra on Tuesday, he said the previous administration performed better than the current one and that their worse performance is the current’s best performance.
“When you look at scores on the Transparency International Initiative when Mahama was in office, he went up to 49 percent and the worst performance was 43 percent.”
“Since President Akufo-Addo took over I think that has been the best so far, so he has failed,” he stated.
Mr Kpebu noted that another proof of the government’s failure was a statement in the current International Monetary Fund (IMF) programme which said that the country’s “fight against corruption has been dwindling.”
He added that “we have been losing and losing for the past decade so obviously he (Akufo-Addo) is not the only one so part of it goes to the previous administration. But the six and half years has been his administration.”
The private legal practitioner said what the government had done so far in the fight against corruption was not substantial and groundbreaking.
“What he has done is too little, too late, it is not sufficient at all. It is not transformational. They are just bits and pieces,” he stated.
