Corruption has always been a canker in Ghana. Despite the numerous efforts put into the fight against corruption, the menace is always ahead of the fighters.
Akufo Addo’s administration has been the worst government in the fight against corruption. In fact some people believe the government has institutionalised corruption making it a lucrative venture. A lot of scandals have occured under this government yet nothing has happened to the perpetrators. In fact the president has cleared all officials associated with those sandals. People believe these scandals which were brushed under the carpet account for the reasons why Ghana is at IMF again.
The former auditor general Daniel Dumelovo attempted to fight corruption head on but he was quickly removed from office.
