Pressure Mounts On Akufo-Addo To Speak About Cecilia Abena Dapaah's Monies Missing Saga 

A member of the Eastern Regional Communications Team of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr Eric Obuoba, commonly known as Mr Green has stated that it is high time for President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo to address the current heartbreaking issue of the whopping sums of monies being stolen from the private residence of the former Minister of Sanitation and Water Resources, Mrs. Cecilia Abena Dapaah by her maids.

According to Mr Green, the issue of Mrs Dapaah's possession of a substantial sum of one million dollars, three hundred thousand euros, and extensive amounts of Ghanaian cedis is of utmost significance and must be urgently addressed by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, his associates, and the NPP. 

Speaking in an interview with Soireenews.com, the young astute politician stated that it is crucial for them to shift their focus towards uplifting Ghana from the shackles of poverty, rather than enriching themselves at the nation's expense.

He maintained that it is dismaying to observe that ministers, government appointees, and NPP members are stockpiling foreign currencies, consequently exacerbating the shortage of import cover reserve in Ghana's economy. 

He noted that the country struggles with the repayment of foreign loans procured from the Bank of Ghana's foreign account. 

According to him, such imprudence has compelled Ghana to seek assistance from the IMF, placing an undue burden on Ghanaian citizens, leading to the introduction of domestic debt exchange programmes, unremunerated free SHS food suppliers, high inflation, cedi depreciation, and the abolition of benchmark value, among other serious consequences.

"Therefore, it is unacceptable for government officials to persist with their corrupt practices, embezzlement, homicide, poor governance, familial and friendly appointments, and financial profiteering.

It is imperative that they prioritize the betterment of the nation and its people, striving to uplift Ghana in every feasible way," he stressed.

Furthermore, Mr Green emphasized that it is critical that the government takes proactive measures to reinforce the financial systems and institutions, ensuring that misconduct of a similar nature does not occur in the future. 

This, he noted encompasses stricter regulations, augmented transparency, accountability, and a culture of integrity ingrained at all levels of government.

Moreover, Mr Green asserted that the government must employ its resources and foreign currency reserves astutely, allocating them towards investments that will benefit the entire country and help elevate people out of poverty. 

According to him, this could constitute funding for infrastructure projects, healthcare, education, and job creation initiatives.

In the final analysis, he pointed out that it is vital for the government and its officials to prioritize the welfare of the Ghanaian people over personal gain. 

He said this necessitates taking decisive action to tackle corruption and foster long-term economic growth, leading Ghana towards its potential as a flourishing and prosperous nation.
