The Constituency Secretary made the pronouncement on Apexnewsgh.com flagship program dubbed “SPEAK OUT UPPER EAST” on Tuesday, September 05, 2022
According to him, Corruption is aggressively growing in the country than development and has eaten Ghanaians, which is what citizens witnessing today clearly and simply mean. “That is unprecedented that we have never seen in the history of this country looking at the level of the corruption, looking at the level of financial malfeasance, looking the level of infractions in the Auditor’s General Report. It clearly means that things are really tough and the NPP since time immemorial has not put in any serious commitment to the fight against corruption and they also have a track record of allowing corrupt officials to go unpunished and history will always put us right. He stressed
He further stressed that the NPP has not shown any serious commitment to fighting corruption.
“You recall some couple of years ago when President Kufour was in government and decided to throw his hands up and say corruption as old as Adam, so looking at those called Dankwa, Bosia or whatever tradition, the NPP government has never shown any serious commitment in the fight against corruption and that is why we are now witnessing some of these things in this country”.He stated
“In the case of Nana Akufo-Addo, the case is absolutely worse, it has never been seen in the history of Ghana. He is seriously clearing all corrupt officials, he has assumed the post of clearing agent at the Ghana port of corruption”.
Responding to the Auditor’s General report, Mr. Solomon said: “We all saw Domelovu as someone who was seriously fighting corruption, but the President did not want anyone who could expose him and his government and for that matter, Domelovu will have to take an early bath in the Auditor’s General Department.
However, he believes the government has recruited a lot of people as ghost workers just to loot the state. He sighted an example with the people captured by the Auditor’s General as ghost workers at the Ministry of Finance.
It is because people are doing gargantuan sole-sourcing, it is because people are making payments of money to themselves, apart from that, putting ghost names in departments and various ministries. According to him, One Habibu who is working at the Finance Ministry as a ghost name took over Ghc 300,000 and the other over Ghc 500,000 for 24 months. He was the 2020 Parliamentary Candidate for Tamale North. This is captured in the Auditor’s General report which is not my saying. They have put people there and they are looting the state for no work done. He concluded
