Member of Parliament for Bodi, Samson Ahi has said President Nana Akuffo-Addo needs to do more to exonerate himself from the corruption allegation, Kwasi Nyantakyi has leveled against him.
According to the Bodi legislature, the President’s integrity has been smeared and has to do a lot to exonerate himself because, “Ghanaians believe the President is corrupt”.
“If the President is implicated, did anybody come to make such an allegation against former President Rawlings, Mills and Mahama, why is it affecting Nana Addo? His own MP Ken Agyapong said if you want to see the President you have to pay thirty thousand ($30,000).
There are so many uncountable allegations against Nana Addo’s presidency, he needs to do more because about ninety percent of Ghanaians think he is corrupt, he said.
Mr. Samson Ahi called for an independent enquiry where President Nana Akuffo-Addo would be invited to defend himself; “the President can be invited to appear before Commission of Human Right and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ).”
Again Parliament can invite the President to appear before a committee of enquire. “Would he say he is the President so he would not appear? Nyantakyi is not just an ordinary person, he is a lawyer he knows the implications for all that he was saying and cannot be swept under the carpet, he lamented.
“Kwasi Nyantakyi is not an ordinary man, so I do not agree with people who are defending Nana Addo, saying Kwasi was just bragging”.
Kwasi Nyantakyi said in two years he would join the political landscape, we are talking about someone who is Vice president of the confederation of Africa Football (CAF) and Council member of FIFA, he pointed out.
“If it is a class one child chap who is bragging like this or an ordinary chap walking on the street of Osu Nima or Markola, I would agree; we are talking of the President of the former Ghana Football Association (GFA)”.
