Justin Frimpong Koduah, the General Secretary of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), has criticized the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) for holding the government accountable for corruption.
Mr. Koduah asserted that the NDC lacked the moral authority to accuse the NPP administration of indulging in corrupt practices.
In its most recent “real State of the Nation address,” the NDC charged the administration of corruption. It also criticized the administration for wrecking the economy.
The NPP General Secretary responded to this in an interview with Umaru Sanda Amadu on Face to Face on Citi TV, saying,
“I’m surprised the NDC will have the moral right to talk about corruption in this country and level corruption allegations against the NPP, I’m very surprised. If NDC were coming in good faith, their presentation should have been how as a nation we will address this canker that we all abhor”.
He questioned why officials in the civil and public sectors are just as likely to be accused of corruption as politicians.
“The major issue in this country is when you talk about corruption, the perception has always been about politicians. Are we saying that in the media, there’s no corruption there? Are we saying that aside from politicians that you know, there is no corruption in the civil service, public service, judiciary?” the NPP chief scribe asked.
