Counsellor George Lutterodt has stated that he doesn't see anything wrong with Akufo-Addo appointing family members as officials in the government.

According to him, only hypocrites would find faults in giving family and friends roles to play in government as everyone else in a position of power would love for their relatives to be a part of the system.

He said this in the defence of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as critics have been accusing him of running a ‘family and friends’ administration.

“It's the best governance. In the whole world, the governance that will help the world is family and friends,” he said this while speaking to Nana Romeo on Accra100.5FM’s mid-morning show, Ayekoo Ayekoo.

“If you own Accra100.5FM, your secretary must be your relative. Your diver must be your relative. Keep your family close,”

“So, if I become president, I will sack all the staff and bring my people. Those from the media will be my people. I will bring people who can keep secrets. So, what President Akufo-Addo is doing is normal. What is wrong with your brother being the Finance Minister? The money is coming home”.

He then stated that not advisable for public figures to disclose their political identities.

“I will follow the winner. It is illegal to disclose my political stance, especially when you're a frontier and you have followers.

“The legality is that if you're a card-bearing member of the party, you're known by virtue of the card that you bear,” he stated, adding that: “But you have staunch followers like a pastor, anytime you declare your stand, you cause the followers to have doubts in their minds”.

“It's about policies. It's about documentation. It's about who has done the right thing or who hasn't done the right thing.

“There are some people that I can say that they shouldn't be voted for again because they've not done what they're supposed to,” he concluded.
