The opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has launched what it calls the Corruption Tracker Series, aimed at monitoring the affairs of the Akufo-Addo Government.
According to the party’s National Communications Officer, Sammy Gymafi, the NDC will be documenting corrupt acts undertaken by officials of the NPP that has been deliberately ignored by the ruling government.
He also said the tracker will give Ghanaians evidence of failed promises under the Akufo-Addo government.
“As a responsible opposition with the responsibility of keeping government on its toes, the NDC is today embarking on a corruption tracker series to track the status of the countless cases of corruption we have witnessed under the Akufo-Addo government in the last three and half years. Scandals which have occasioned huge financial losses to the state and robbed Ghanaians of the developments they were promised in the year 2016,” Sammy Gyamfi said during the launch in Accra on Monday [June 8, 2020]

He said the NDC will demonstrate “how President Akufo-Addo at all times, has failed to protect the public purse. While at it, we shall also prove to the Ghanaian people that contrary to his self-acclaimed anti-corruption credentials, President Akufo-Addo is indeed the leader and chief patron of this notoriously corrupt administration.”
He alleged that the Akufo-Addo government had ran down a once buoyant Bulk Oil and Storage Transport (BOST) leaving it with no strategic stocks of its own and is virtually borrowing to pay its workers.
Sammy Gyamfi said the NDC government had bequeathed to the current government; 200,000 metrics tonnes of refined products valued at about GHS1 billion and 2 million barrels of crude (1 million barrels from the TEN fields and 1 million barrels of Qua-Iboe crude from Nigeria) valued at over US$100 million. Yet, these resources have been poorly managed.
Sammy Gyamfi further warned that “the next NDC-Mahama government in 2021, shall investigate and prosecute all culprits who are involved in this stinking “BOSTGATE” corruption scandal,” he concluded.
