Corruption fight: Akufo-Addo’s inaction creates bad impression – Former UN Governance Advisor

Chief Executive Officer of Kufuor Foundation and former United Nations (UN) Senior Governance Advisor, Baffour Agyemang-Duah has voiced concern about the public’s perception of President Akufo-Addo’s performance on issues such as corruption and poor governance.

Agyemang-Duah said that the perception of corruption and poor governance stems from a lack of decisive action on the part of the President.

.

Speaking on the Super Morning Show, he stated that from Afrobarometer reports, Ghanaians’ position on corruption has not been the best.

.

“So generally, I think there is a very poor impression about that only because of his inaction in dealing decisively with cases that are reported,” he said on February 27, 2024.

.

The former UN Senior Governance Advisor stated that President Akufo-Addo has been slow to respond to the concerns of the Ghanaian people.

.

“There are so many other instances I can cite to indicate where the responsiveness of government to certain popular sentiments were not really met so that is another deficit that we have,” he said.

.

Agyemang-Duah said that Ghanaian presidents, including the current and former presidents, have a tendency to make promises that they know they will not be able to fulfill during their term in office.
