Your kind of corruption is totally out of control – Ablakwa to Akufo-Addo
Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the North Tongu Member of Parliament has noted that the grand scheme of corruption activities happening under the current president of Ghana, Nana Akufo-Addo is beyond control.
The North Tongu Member of Parliament noted that the irresponsibility of the president in tackling corruption has been evidenced in the latest 2021 Auditor General’s report which revealed that financial irregularities have worsened from GHS12.8billion in 2020 to GHS17.4billion in 2021
In a tweet on Friday July 8, 2022 the law marker remarked that “Even as the Akufo-Addo govt commences IMF bailout negotiations, the tragic irony is that corruption is now totally out of control”.
The 2021 Auditor General’s report indicates that financial irregularities have worsened from “GHS12.8billion in 2020 to GHS17.4billion in 2021”.
“Instead of stopping the massive hemorrhage so we can improve our economic conditions in this period of excruciating cost of living crisis , officials have disingenuously managed to create more loopholes by some additional 5 billion cedis in a free-for-all plundering”, he added.
Mr. Ablakwa further disclosed that “the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), alone awarded illegal single sourcing contracts without Public Procurement Authority (PPA) approval to the explosive amount of GHS221.15 million”.
Ablakwa thus stressed that “If we don’t defeat corruption and deliberate leakages, no magnitude of IMF bailout will save us”.
