The President of the republic of Ghana, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is reported to have out rightly rejected a GH¢500,000 Christmas Hamper offered to him by an unnamed corporate organization.
New Patriotic Party (NPP) firebrand and Member of Parliament (MP) for Assin Central Constituency of the Central region Kennedy Ohene Agyepong who revealed this on Tuesday, said management of the said organization visited him on December 23 last year.
“On the 23rd of December, a company paid the then president-elect a visit to wish him well ahead of the yuletide where they dropped the said amount but he rejected”, he revealed.
This according to him, goes to give credence to the fact that the president is poised to fight corruption in society and will go all out to hunt all those who may engage in underhand dealings.
He indicated that the current president has shown he is incorruptible which is why Ghanaians mandated him to govern the country for the next four years.
The President during his inaugural address on January 7, 2017 reiterated his resolve in fighting corruption in the system stating “If your goal in coming into government is to enrich yourself, then doesn’t come. Go to the private sector. Public service is going to be exactly that; public service!”
He directed such persons who want to dip their hands into the public purse to rather find their way to the private sector because when he is voted as President, he will jealously guard public funds.
According to him, he is not against any individual who wants to make money but “if that is your goal, stick to the private sector; don’t come into the public service.”
He hinted that he will create an office of Special Prosecutor in Ghana’s public space to ensure accountability.
The Special Prosecutor will be charged to fight against corruption.
Persons who will serve in this special office will not be chosen by the President but “by a formula that will ensure their independence and the capacity to do their work.”

H E NANA ADDO DANKWA AKUFU ADDO, YOU HAVE DONE WELL BY REJECTING ALL THESE ENTICEMENTS BUT CHARLEY, IF YOU ALLOW GMO TO BE UNLEASHED ON GHANA THAT WOULD BE THE MOST UNFORTUNATE THING ANY LEADER HAS DONE TO THIS LAND. GMO IS SOOO TOXIC IT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MORE DEATHS THAN ANY DISEASE THE WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN. NANA, REJECT GMO AND THE LORD WILL REWARD YOU IMMENSELY. GMO IS WORSE THAN THE ATOMIC BOMB. GMO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MOST DEFORMITIES IN BABIES THESE DAYS. IT IS ONLY THE IGNORANTT WHO WILL ACCEPT GMO
A great lies cook story
name the company involved, until then this is bogus news. cheap PR
CAN THIS BE SAID ABOUT EX-PRESIDENT JOHN MAHAMA?
THE APPROACH OF NANA ADDO TO FIGHT CORRUPTION IS TYPICAL BY EXAMPLE. WITH THIS ATTITUDE IT WILL BE DIFFICULT FOR HIS MINISTER TO ACCEPT HAMPERS. WE SHALL SEEN A GENUINE FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION AND NOT A FAKE ONE IN THE PAST WHICH ONLY CHANGE CORRUPTION FROM PERSONALITY TO INSTITUTION. THE REVOLUTIONARY CLAIM OF THE FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION WAS A CAMPAIGN TO ATTACK THE SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS MEN AND WOMEN IN GHANA. IT WAS ANTI RICH AND TRIBALISTIC. AT THE END THEY CREATED A PARTY OF CORRUPTION TO ESTABLISHED INSTITUTIONAL CORRUPTION OF NOCTURNAL DIABOLIC CREATURES. THE CONSEQUENCE HAS BEEN WHAT WE HAVE ALL WITNESSED IN THE JUST DEFUNCT GOVERNMENT. MAY GOD HELP NANA ADDO AND HIS GOVERNMENT TO CHANGE THE ATTITUDE OF GHANAIANS AND BY EXTENSION AFRICANS FOR THROUGH DEVELOPMENT OF A CONTINENT WHICH CAN ONLY BE BEST DESCRIBED AS DARK CONTINENT BECAUSE OF POVERTY IN THE MIST OF RICH RESOURCES.
This shows that nana indeed is the chosen one.God bless nana and God bless Ghana.
Ghana will rise again! Good leadership does not steal from its people. Good leadership does not go to foreign lands and take selfies at popular signs. Good leadership does not accept car bribe before giving out a contract. Good leadership does not connive with family members to DUPE the country. Good leadership is inspiring, refreshing and matured!
Let the topmost police administration investigate this perfidy, the Greek gift perfidy, and tell us which company or group played the subterfuge. Let's be informed who and what this corporate organization is. The bomb planters! We care much, indeed we are itching to learn about this corporate organization.
Why this bashing? If it is propaganda, we will see. He just started the act of governance. I believe 4 years is long enough to reveal who Nana really is. For now, let us just take the news as given and keep vigilance. No need to be foul mouthed. Ghanaians must change.
