Felix Kwakye Ofosu, a deputy Minister of Information under the John Dramani Mahama administration has issued a sharp rebuttal to a post by Gabby Asare Otchere Darko in which he trashes the corruption record of the Akufo-Addo government.
Kwakye Ofosu in the epistle presents what he considers to be the facts as far as corruption under the Akufo-Addo and Mahama regimes are concerned.
Expectedly, the issue of Domelevo’s removal and Martin Amidu’s controversial exit as Special Prosecutor featured in the write up which is a critique of an earlier one made against the John Mahama and the NDC by Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko.
According to Kwakye Ofosu, never has there been a more corrupt government in the country than the one being supervised by ‘Gabby Otchere-Darko’s cousin’ - President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
“While Gabby’s misplaced angst is amusing, it is the delusional bubble he has ensconced himself in, that is most perplexing. The widespread belief among Ghanaians that his cousin, Akufo-Addo, helms the most corrupt government under the fourth republic is hardly the doing of President Mahama or anyone else for that matter. It is a direct product of the graft and governmental putrefaction that has been orchestrated and executed by the clannish cabal that runs the country at the moment.
“He expresses bewilderment that the NPP is unable to fend off charges of corruption emanating from the NDC, yet evidence of his cousin’s affinity for and endorsement of corruption is legion. Only weeks ago, he laughed off the serious matter of the violation and vandalization of all relevant laws governing public procurement in Ghana by his Health Minister in the Sputnik V vaccine corruption scandal.
“For more nuanced anti-corruption watchers,it is the outright war of attrition and retribution waged by President Akufo-Addo against Daniel Domelovo, whom he removed for daring to surcharge his Senior Minister over the Kroll corruption scandal and the deliberate interference in the work of Martin Amidu which led to his resignation as Special Prosecutor,that cement his legacy as the leader of Ghana’s most corrupt government ever,” parts of the statement read.
Kwakye Ofosu further alleges that Gabby Otchere-Darko is neck-deep in all corruption related issues in the Akufo-Addo government and will likely be charged in the event that NDC regains power.
“Despite the facade of being an outsider, Gabby’s centrality in the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government is the worst kept secret this side of the Sahara. It is also widely known that any accounting to be done by his cousin at the end of his tenure may involve him given that he is front and center of many of the things that have brought this government into public opprobrium.
“There will be an accounting after the torrid Akufo-Addo years end in a little over three years from now and it is understandable that Gabby would have jitters at the prospect of he and his phalanx of cousins no longer ruling the roost as they do now.”
Gabby Otchere Darko in his post questioned why the NPP would allow the NDC to accuse it of corruption.
He enumerated a number of instances where he reckons corrupt activities ensued under watch of John Dramani Mahama as President.
“It bothers me how NPP can allow the NDC to attack it on corruption when the NPP evidently does more for the people with taxpayers’ money than the NDC did under Mahama. Clearly, corruption is such an easy cane with which to whip a government whether it is supported by facts or propaganda.
“Corruption effectively means resources meant for public expenditures are going into private pockets. Surely if a government is doing more than any previous one in spending public funds on the people and their communities and also getting more in return than the previous government, then why should that ruling party allow that opponent to confidently feel that corruption is rather the ruling party’s Achilles heel?," he added.

This President is yet to sign an Embraer and Airbus deal with any of his family members and a TV entertainer friend as agents. Once he gathers the boldness to do so then we can compare the two Presidents on who is more corrupt. Any comparison now is a total mismatch.
Akooaa, wei paaa! Have you stopped stealing mito? Gyae ka na y3n gyae listen! Who born dog!
No, it isn’t. It is rather Mahama’s government, and you played your part in the booty grabbing spree. Buying two multimillion dollar houses cash down. Where did you get BV the money from, baby with sharp teeth??
Folks this shows how unfair life is. This ***barred word*** bought two mansions and nobody asked him any questions so he can now accuse others of corruption.Sometimes one gets the impression that these politicians just simply take the rest of us for ***barred word***. People steal loads of money and they walk around free. The ordinary man steals a fowl and he's ' jailed with the speed of lightning.This fake democracy is our undoing.
Ofosu Kwakye the People’s wife’s banging kingpin who was caught fornicating with someone’s wife in another man’s matrimonial bed, still have mouth to talk? ***barred word*** Berma Ofosu Kwakye. Kraman mu kraman
This guy is the most rudest in NDC and speaks as if he is a super human and has no tolerance for different views because he thinks he is the brain. It is shame that all the monies that he stole was spent on women. He has no moral shame to show his face and defend the indefensible in public.
Look at his face. People like Ofosu Kwaakye doesn't make politics attractive in Ghana. Such a corrupt individual like Ofosu Kwaakye has the affront to accuse somebody of corrunt. Anyway this boy know no shame
KWAKYE OFOSU, INDEED YOU ARE A SHARP-THIEVED BLEND. BUT, MIND YOU, YOU ARE MAKING POLITICS VERY DIRTY. YOU DON'T DESERVE TO BE CALLED A FORMER MINISTER. AAAAABA
For real? Comments like these show how shallow-minded the NDC is. You have no message. You leave Mahama's botched presidency laden with unprecedented c0rrupt incidences including John Mahama being the first president in Ghana to appear on the front pages of international tabloids in bribery scandals besides being implicated in Courts. Has Ofosu kwakye forgotten the tree planting and guinea fowl scandals? Since the 4th republic, how many NDC appointees have been jailed for corrupti-on as compared to the NPP.
