I’ll rate Akufo-Addo 5 out of 10 on corruption fight – Prof. Adei

Former Rector of the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA), Prof. Stephen Adei, is not impressed with President Akufo-Addo’s efforts in tackling corruption.

According to Adei, the president’s performance in addressing corruption leaves much to be desired, and he will rate him just 5 out 10.

“I will rate him (President Akufo-Addo) about what other presidents had done and in that case, I will rate him five because I think he went upfront with these institutions and other things but did not follow through,” he said during an interview on Joy News.

He stated that the establishment of anti-corruption institutions is not enough to solve corruption problems in the country. The president must be ready to fight the menace.

“For example, I think no matter whatever institutions you establish, if the President who is the head of State says that when you smell corruption, you are going to be out of my sight, if you don’t do that, you can never tackle corruption,” he said.
