Akufo Addo, what portion of inheritance do you have in the nomination of the new Special Prosecutor?

 Left: The Ghanaian president, Nana Akufo Addo, and right: the nominee for the appointment of the Special Prosecutor

I don’t know if President Akufo-Addo has a personal assistant or an advisor. Even if he has one, I don’t want to know, since that person could be the worst advisor in the political history of Ghana to a president.

 

I need to ask this question because since Nana Akufo-Addo became president of Ghana over five years ago, his decisions and actions have been total failures, culminating in the suffering of common Ghanaians, yet the president hasn’t learned any lesson.

 

Following the resignation of the former Special Prosecutor, Martin Amidu, on November 16, 2020, in accordance with the country’s constitution, the president has to fill the position of the former Special Prosecutor; therefore, a lawyer by the name of Kissy Agyebeng appears.

His nomination as the new Special Prosecutor has already sparked a lot of controversies, with Kennedy Agyapong, a Member of Parliament for the Assin Central, calling him evil and criminal.

What appears to be serious about this matter is that Kennedy Agyapong is a member of the New Patriotic Party.

In another development, the former Special Prosecutor, Martin Amidu, also said that the “Special Prosecutor nominee Kissi Agyebeng is a ‘surrogate’ of Agyapa deal advocates” (reference: ModernGhana); in other words, Kissi Agyebeng is not qualified for that post.

In such a situation, any good president of a country would have to delay that nomination, but Akufo-Addo has ignored those opposing the nomination and has expressed hope in the Parliament to speed up the vetting process for Kissy Agyebeng’s appointment.

I was among other writers that constantly attacked Martin Amidu as a corrupt Special Prosecutor who has failed to protect Nana Akufo-Addo.

It was when the former Special Prosecutor resigned that it became clear to me that Amidu was under the domination and oppression of Nana Akufo-Addo to avoid the prosecution of any corrupt politician in the country.

My question is why did it take so long for Amidu to resign? Then I found the answer: all the time the man has been waiting to see if Nana Akufo-Addo could ever change his corruptible ways, but that never happened; therefore, Amidu decides to leave because he has had enough of a disgrace he doesn’t deserve.

One doesn’t need to be a political analyst to observe the kind of politics in Ghana under the administration of Akufo-Addo.

His entire ministry and the judges at the Supreme Court are unproductive elements that have destroyed Ghana beyond remedy.

There is no truth in Ghana, and if you try to stay on the path of the truth in that country, this can cost you your life.

Indeed, the dawn of the Culture of Silence has fallen on Ghana, yet many Ghanaians don’t want to accept it. Those that rebelled against Mahama over 'dumsor' and corruption are nowhere to be found today, even though Akufo Addo's time is the worst for Ghanaians.

Even before Sam Jonah made the statement about the culture of silence in Ghana, it will be recalled that on March 12, 2021, Ghanaweb published one of my articles captioned “Why it is more obvious that Ghanaians fear Akufo-Addo than John Mahama.”

Nana Akufo-Addo is the kind of president who likes to work with corrupt people because he is corrupt. In any good country, following the biggest corruption scandal that hit the Director of Communications to the President of Ghana, Eugene Arhin, that man should have tendered his resignation, but Akufo-Addo has still kept him in his office.

Nana Akufo-Addo sacked Domelevo because the former auditor-general wasn’t ready to accommodate the president’s massive corruptible schemes.

That is why today, he is dying to appoint Kissy Agyebeng because he knows he is the right man who will protect him and follow his corruptible deals without exposure.

Sometimes it seems to me that African leaders only remember a foreign country's name when ready to visit because if they know that whatever is taking place in Ghana is secretly filed by various foreign governments, including the United States of America, they will think like human beings in whatever they do.

These are some of the reasons there are so many Europeans and Americans that know exactly what is taking place in Ghana better than even a Ghanaian. Before a Ghanaian starts talking to them about politics, they will tell you the Ghanaian president is related to the finance minister and the former Supreme Court judge.

Nana Akufo-Addo is the kind of president who is very stubborn, difficult, and not willing to listen to anyone; therefore, he will always follow his desire for his failure and injury.

He never cares about his errors because he knows he has people that are ready to support him.

However, I will remind him that the appointment of Kissy Agyebeng will be another catastrophic failure and setback to his government.

If Akufo-Addo is wise, he should listen to the voices of Kennedy Agyapong and Martin Amidu, unless he wants to live the same life of deception, lies, and corruption.

So Akufo Addo, Where Is The Fight Against Corruption If The Country Is 3rd In The World?

  

The Ghanaian leader, Nana Akufo Addo

Ghana is a corrupt country in everything, including the judiciary system and politics; therefore, politicians are restless because they know what happens during elections since there are never free and fair elections in Africa, including Ghana.  

A US News report has identified Ghana as the third most corrupt country in the world. Reference: https://bit.ly/38cZ4QO

According to its 2020 ranking, a characterization of 73 countries based on a survey of more than 20,000 citizens of the world and apart from Ghana which occupies the 3rd place, the classification also implies Kenya which comes in 8th position of the most corrupt countries in the world. 

Others are Columbia and Mexico, known for its deadly drug cartels. Myanmar, Guatemala, Saudi Arabia, Brazil, and Bolivia are also in the top 10. Russia, which has been accused of electoral interference and Olympic doping, joined the top 10 this year after ranking number 12 in 2019.

In the report, respondents indicated how closely they relate each country to the term corrupt, the exact meaning of which was left to their own interpretation. 

Transparency International, the German-based non-governmental organization defines corruption as the abuse of public power for private gain. The organization's most recent version of its corruption perception index also indicates that the failure to significantly control corruption is escalating a global democracy crisis.

Corruption in Ghana is at its highest peak because it takes place daily, however, it increases significantly when getting close to elections. This one of the reasons there is always political instability in Ghana, since the suffering masses, including the unemployed outraged over the impact of corruption in the country.

The fight against corruption in Ghana’s administration was one of President Nana Addo-Akufo's major priorities but what has he done today? “You can fool all the people some of the time and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.”- Abraham Lincoln.

I write without inventing my own words but based on the references of what Akufo Addo himself said. On corruption, during a ceremony at the Flagstaff House (That’s what I know it is called), Nana Akufo Addo said: “While corruption is a thorny issue that permeates every fabric of Ghanaian society, especially the public sector, he believes that it is one of the worst scourges that oppose the development of Ghana.”

Then when the president failed the fight against corruption, including his failure to solving chronic corruption among the members of the NPP, frustrated and embarrassed Akufo Addo, shamefully said, "it is not his job to accuse the innocent or convict officials who engage in corruption."

According to President Akufo Addo, "all cases of corruption in his government will follow due process to determine whether the officials involved are guilty or not." Oh yes, Nana Akufo Addo, this is one of the reasons you appointed the Special Prosecutor, Martin Amidu to do that job.

Yet, you were so scared that he will bring out corrupt NPP officials, which will affect the party’s future in elections, therefore, you sat on the neck of the man to prevent him to do his job. If the common Ghanaians you starved at home can’t see, the honest Ghanaians living outside the country know about your ‘Politricks.’

In fact, Akufo Addo, all those attacking me for speaking the truth or any time I write an article about you are wasting their time, since the articles are based on what you say but never did or about your failures. Once provoked, I get the message to repeat similar articles because the truth is bitter than the bile. 

It's also necessary to add to this article that, in reality, you often see many deleted comments under my articles, only one or two are genuine, the rest of the names are from one person. 

Akufo Addo appoints Martin Amidu, the Special Prosecutor, to coverup his corruptible deals

Yes, I mean a frustrated angry, tribalistic enemy full of hate, who wants everyone to believe that the article I wrote has generated 10 negative comments but the fact is the different names are from only one person. I believe intelligent Ghanaians know that too.

There is a time for everything, Mr. President, my only fear is before Ghanaians will realize how bad you are as a leader or how corrupt both NDC and NPP political parties are, then it’s too late. 

Nothing can bring a change to the doomed economy of Ghana because of the impact of continuous abuse of power and corruption which has destroyed the economy beyond remedy.
