Former Deputy Communication Minister, Felix Kwakye Ofosu, has said that governance under President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is worse off than when the opposition was in power under former President John Dramani Mahama.
Although President Akufo-Addo has been leading the country for close to three years, the unsatisfied Felix Kwakye Ofosu maintained that there was no way the current government could match up to John Mahama’s National Democratic Congress (NDC).
According to him, surveys conducted by the Transparency International CPI which has records of performances of both political figures confirm that President Mahama’s worst performance while in office is far better than President Akufo-Addo’s best performance.
In his words, “The most authoritative corruption barometer in the world is the Transparency International CPI. The best ever performance that Ghana has ever put up was recorded in 2014 under the NDC with 48 points. The second best was still under President Mahama – 47”. Since President Akufo-Addo has been president, his best performance has been 41. So, his best performance has been worse than President Mahama’s best performance”.
Meanwhile, the Former Deputy Communication Minister, Felix Kwakye Ofosu had earlier expressed shock about President Akufo-Addo’s posture on the high level of corruption cases under his government although he’s been hit with many. Kwakye Ofosu voiced his dismay particularly about the fact that President Akufo-Addo is trying to portray the picture that the opposition National Democratic Congress wants to sabotage his administration by tagging them as 'corrupt'.
Contributing on the topic, The Corruption Wars on Citi TV’s ‘Point of View’ he argued that the Akufo-Addo government has been dented with so many political scandals that it has affected, negatively, Ghana’s performance in the fight against corruption.
“Indeed, the worst ever performance was in 2017, under President Akufo-Addo when he had a score of 40 and we need to also look at the quality of inputs that go into these surveys. That is the input, data and the outcome.”
He further added that “The real test is when President Akufo-Addo is able to put his own appointees against whom tons of evidence of corruption have been made before court. He has been unable to do that".

Come to think of it. NPP have been in power only once just two terms and they have only one former president. NDC have 3 former presidents. Ghan not Ghana not good who have actually been in charge since 1979? today they all praise Kuffour , that is an endorsement for the present government because it is also NPP. and he is just 3 yrs in office. mahama only came to stiiieel . the only president who have been found directly involve in coniving to loot the country. Kan Zoa called to confirm; Boss have you receievd the Ford. and he answered Yes , Thank you very much..... for a road contract in return. I hear its pot holes today as we speak. heaps of gold bars from Ghana were seazed in turkey , some way somehow the president showed up apparently to assist but was actually stiiiling form Ghanaians. this mans brother never paid tax or duties for all those machines...tried to import Tico and see and see how the world is..
he bought 2 houses in cash and the owner was so pissed off because the guy brought cash in sacks instead of paying at the bank.he spent all night counting dollors such a couropt individual also talking. you should be in jail if Akufo Addo have given the special prosecuter job to Akoto Ampau but he gave to NDc man
Don't insult him. Tackle the issue and you will find out the illogical arguments in his statement. Mahama scored 48 in 2014 and what happened after that? Did Ghana improve in 2015 and 2016 when Mahama was still in power? That is how to measure performance. Unfortunately, after 2014 Ghana has slided to 43 in 2016. What caused the slide and who was in charge?
Kwakye Ofosu was accused by an electoral commission member that an amount of $6 million (USA Dollar) meant for latter was stolen by Kwakye Ofosu. I remember Kwakye Ofosu indicated he was going to court to sue that lady what has happened. We Ghanaians are probably naive that is why these criminals are making fun os us.
ANOKWASEM PAAA SE THIS BOY CAN TALK EBINI. EACH TIME HE OPENS HIS MOUTH EBINI PAAA - PROPER ***barred word*** - COMES FROM IT. NO RESPECT AT ALLL. AAABBBA, NDCfo
To be honest, is this guy serious. Anytime he opens his mouth he spew out rubbish. He is a disgrace to the NDC Party
That is your opinion because you belong to create and loot team. You are fighting for your incompetent Mahama to come and loot the country dry. You are fighting for Mahama so you can continue with your create, loot and share. But in sha Allah, your dreams and evil intention will not see the light of the day. Mahama is the most corrupt and incompetent president ever to rule Ghana. The first vice president that was about to be investigated by the president for corruption. Please, never compare president Nana Addo to your ever incompetent Mahama.
Hahahaha ndc again? You’ve started? You wait until you see a real campaign .
Where is the $6,000,000 given to you to give to the Electoral Commission??????????
Babies with sharp teeth. Mahama's PR on EC projects
