A member of the National Democratic Congress legal team, Abraham Amaliba, has accused president Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo of employing his ex-girlfriends and family members into various positions in the country.
He alleged “the president has 65 relatives occupying various positions in the country” when the NPP has previously accused the former president, John Mahama, of making his government a ‘friends and family government’.
He made the allegation on TV3’s New Day on Wednesday, July 17. He claimed Nana Akufo-Addo has been giving appointments to undeserving people due to his relationship with them.
“NPP think they are ordained rulers in this country,” Mr Amaliba said
According to the private legal practitioner, “the president employs ex-girlfriends and family members. Ex-girlfriends of the president have been made ambassadors”.
Mr Ayariga who could not substantiate his claim on the show, initially refused a request by the host, Bright Nana Amfoh, to withdraw the statement, maintaining he would rather walk out of the studio than to retract.
He however gave in and withdrew the statement after the show resumed from a commercial break. Mr Amaliba’s claim was triggered by an issue raised by one of the panelist on the show, former CPP Chairperson, Rhodaline Ayarna, about a foreign architect who is said to be operating illegally in Ghana.
However, New Patriotic Party spokesperson, Stephen Amoah said there is no problem in employing family members “provided the president’s brother is doing a genuine business.”
He said “the fact that somebody is a president doesn’t mean his brother cannot work, unless the president’s brother is doing something against the law or probably being given too much advantage against others.”

If follow public discus very well you see that each and every NDC communicator have been given a topic that he/she will always discuses regardless of what is on the table to be discussed and this Amaliba man has been assigned with Family and Friends topic so he says it every where he goes. if you following his discus you will always hear this so its no more news.
This guy is another empty-headed NDC cohort. You can look everywhere and I bet,you will be disappointed not to find any reasonable NDC youth of the likes of NPP-Sammy Awuku, John Boadu and Kwadwo Oppong only to mention a few. Sadly and disappointedly, on top of my dismay is that, this guy is a qualified Lawyer. This trend of insolence under the guise of patisan politics is becoming solely symptomatic of NDCs' politics of lies and dishonesty. Therefore, NDC as a political Party today has credibility and integrity problem.
This guy has never said any sensible thing in his life such a twerp is allowed to talk in Ghana! if even it is so ,Akufo Addo has a taste and wouldn't go in for cheap stupi*d women like those that John mahama chased. Nkwas*eafuo paa de3 moy3 !tweaaakai after your education nothing sensible came out of it so I imagine without education. A so called lawyer talking like a 2nd grade kid in the USA even can think better than these people with frozen brains !disgraceful people to Ghana. Akufo Addo will go for a woman with substance who can meet world leaders and be respected not this your Mzbel, Afia Schwarzenegger etc girls who were shuttling the Peduase lodge ! Ab*oaaaaa, ***barred word*** even my dog Roxy is much sensible than you Amaliba !You start attacking the President and we will make your lives miserable in Ghana kwase*a is this a campaign message agy*imifuo?
