The General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress, Johnson Asiedu Nketia popularly known as General Mosquitoe has described President Akufo-Addo as a visiting president to his own country.
He says the President barely stays in the country to attend to the needs of Ghanaians who voted for him and his government.
Speaking on Okays FM's 'Ade Akye Abia' programme, he explained that the President has not spent more than a month in the country without traveling outside.
According to him the President who promised to cut profligate spending and save the public purse has been indeed saving the public purse with his travels.
"Rarely do you see or hear of him in the country, he has been traveling around to other countries as if he is a visiting President in the country.
"He gets his plane fueled and then moves around other countries.
"The President comes into the country like a visiting President", he said.
"How can you protect the public purse when you engage in so many travels", General Mosquito asked.
Asiedu Nketia further added that the NPP government promised a lean government and also promised to protect the public purse but with this style of governance, they are rather draining the public purse.
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo left Accra last Saturday to attend the 25th Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) in London, United Kingdom.
The meeting took place from Monday and ended on Friday on the theme “Towards a Common Future".
Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has since returned to the country.

Mahama was the first visiting president i know and he will continue to be the only one. i know he will try to visit again but will be disgraced. at least there are some 1000 ple who have jobs even if it is to for family, friends, girlfriends, boyfriends, or whatever. and even if their work is to clean the president's an*s. what we shd be asking abt is if this ple are real and that our monies are not being diverted into some pockets. ndc is very well know for creating ghost names and diverting monies into their own pockets. they are worried npp may be doing the same thing with this number. guys if u follow this politicians to make ur decisions then u are doomed bcos they are all from the same camp. forget the media war. it is just to divert our attentions. if we really care for the growth of this country then we have to put politics aside and start thinking as Ghanaians. our actions shd not be politically motivated.
Majority of people commenting here are part of 998 Akufo addo staff at Jubilee house, family and friends party, is that how to protect the public purse, hahahaha, you guys are funny. Protecting public purse with 110 ministers and 998 presidential staffers.Well if you don't have heads to think, some of us do have and can think and know when King promise Akufo addo's deception and tricks,he's bent on ruining Ghana down completely.
Mr Asiedu, governance is not about sitting down and ***barred word***' the state coffers without thinking out side the Box.Prez Addo is using his Brain to develop the country.He is doing a lot to woo foreign investors. Asiedu tell us what you did when you were in POWER.If you Create you then Loot and when you Loot you share but do not share for Ghanaians.
But his government is delivering! Your NDC left GHc1.2b NHIS debt and in less than 2yrs, GHc1b is paid and you say what? Double salary NDC party. Wait 2020, NDC will get 20%!!

With all due respect, stop making baseless statements. Does he go there for holidays or for business-related matters? Spare us our ears if you don't have something better to advance the course of this country. We're in a hurry to develop this country so have no time to waste on people like you.
