The National Communications Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi, says the Akufo-Addo-led government has made corruption so attractive that it has become a venture for its appointees.
He adds that the government has failed in its fight against corruption and it cannot pin its hope in the passage of the Right to Information (RTI) Bill to fight the canker.
Speaking on TV3 Wednesday, Sammy Gyamfi said corruption cases like the visa racketeering that rocked Ghana’s 2018 Commonwealth Games participation justify the wide perception that the current government is steeped in graft.
He was speaking after a Deputy Minister of Information, Pius Enam-Hadzide, touted the passage of the RTI Bill, on Tuesday, as a great step in the fight against corruption by the government.
Mr Enam-Hadzide said the government deserves praise for making sure that the Bill, which has been in and out of Parliament, has finally been passed.
But Sammy Gyamfi directly pointed out to the Deputy Minister that he was an example of corruption in the current government, citing how the latter was cleared by the president in the probe into the Commonwealth Games case.
Mr Enam-Hadzide was the Deputy Youth and Sports Minister when the case happened. The Deputy Information Minister, however, strongly disagreed with the NDC national officer for his assertions. But Sammy Gyamfi insisted: “You are the worst government when it comes to the fight against corruption”.
He rather saw the passage of the RTI Bill as a “significant achievement for the country” and no single government can lay claim to its passage.
He observed that it is a feather in the cup of Ghana as a beacon of democracy in Africa.

Please save our ears. The incompetent one has patented corruption to himself and his party the NDC. What else can anyone else do to beat NDC to the rule of corruption. The come second to none. The leader at the time took a Ford bribe from Kanazoe. The Brazil World Cup debacle and saga are all there. In his time Akofem flew out of Ghana to Burkina Faso because they were not properly fed under the SADA program. All engineering works were given to Ibrahim Mahama because the chop chop went through E&P The GYEEDA, SUBA and all those issues are a proof that NDC has patented Corruption. It is in their DNA and nothing can stop them so Sammy Gymafi stop disturbing our ears.
You people should leave Sammy Gyamfi alone and go and check what is what is happening at the Ghana Export Promotion Authority.... You will see the true definition of corruption.
TELL THEM EVERYTHING SAMMY GAMFI. THE NPP AND ITS GOVERNMENT BEHAVE AS IF THEY ARE OSTRICHES THAT WILL BURRY THEIR HEADS WHEN DANGER IS APPROACHING. EVERY GHANAIAN EXCEPT THE NPP IS CRYING VERY LOUD ABOUT THE RISE IN CORRUPTION UNDER THE WATCH OF NANA ADDO. YET THEY NPP AND THEIR GOVERNMENT CONTINUE TO SAY NO CORRUPTION. YOOOOOO! WE HEAR. LET THEM (NPP) CONTINUE WITH SUCH IGNORANCE OF THE SOPHISTICATION OF THE GHANAIAN VOTER. 2020 IS JUST AROUND THE CORNER. THEY WILL GNASH THEIR TEETH VERY SOON.
Corruption and incompetence has been bought and registered by NDC and Mahama so you can try very hard to put them on NPP but it will not wash. Master stop wasting our time.

You do not deserve any attention. But let me just take this opportunity to advice you on your disrespectful and arrogance behavior.1. you are too disrespectful and arrogant. 2. Your insult to the president and politicians who are older than you should be watched because we are Ghanaians and Allah is watching you. 3. Learn from the likes of Saamy Awuku and John Boadu.A word to a wise is enough.
