The only industry operating actively under the Akufo-Addo administration, according to Evangelist Richard Prah, chief executive officer of the City of Gold, Jewellery, and a politician, is “corruption.”
The current hardship in Ghana and how it has impacted their enterprises has been the subject of much grumbling on the part of Ghanaians. The corrupt nature of the Akufo-Addo administration has also been criticised by many.
The businessman claimed that because of the difficulties and corruption of the government under Akufo-Addo, businesses are struggling to survive and have adopted a variety of strategies in the hopes that when the National Democratic Congress (NDC) wins power under a John Dramani Presidency, things will improve.
He was speaking on Kumasi-based Ultimate FM, he said, “If you ask me how my business is doing, by the grace of God we get something to pay our bills, so we can only thank God’’
‘‘I would have wished that any normal country or society when business is thriving it means you don’t only get money to pay your bills but also some to expand and do other projects, that is how we see that business is doing well but today as we speak in Ghana, I don’t know which business can boldly say it doing very well’’.
“Under the NPP and Nana Addo, the only business or industry thriving, which is illegal, but has been formalized and legalized is the corruption industry,” he said.
“The corruption business is thriving such that, from 2017 to 2021 alone this country has lost 50.6 billion to corruption, then it means the corruption industry is doing well’’, he stated.
