Mr Dennis Amfo-Sefah, Constituency Chairman of the ruling New Patriotic Party in Tema West, has rated statecraft by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as the best on the African continent.
Speaking in an exclusive interview in Accra, the Chairman who is affectionately called Nana Boakye said the exceptional nature of the President’s style of governance was what led to exceptional programmes and results in Ghana.
“The Bible says that by the fruit of somebody, you shall know him. By the fruits of President Akufo-Addo, we know him by the rule of law through which appointees accused of corruption are suspended and asked to make themselves available to investigators,” Nana Boakye said.
He argued that on the African continent, the only President who was actively disciplining his own over corruption was President Akufo-Addo, “This is why there seems to be a rampancy in corruption scandals; the reason we are seeing more corruption issues is that the President, unlike others on the continent, is confronting the corruption.
The President recently sacked the top brass of the National Youth Authority over corruption and also suspended the Chief Executive Officer of the Public Procurement Authority and asked him to make himself available to the Special Prosecutor for investigations.
“By the fruits of Akufo-Addo, we have Free SHS, One District One Factory, Planting for Food and Jobs and rearing for food and jobs. Rare programmes on the African continent.
“The records are there, it’s not as if we are making it up, last year, Ghana did not import a single grain of corn because of the bumper harvest that resulted from the Planting for Food and Jobs programme,” Nana Boakye said.
According to him, the exceptional leadership that President Akufo-Addo was leading made him a star among his peers, many of whom are trying to replicate the groundbreaking policies that President Akufo-Addo has been implementing in Ghana.

I don't think it is Nana Addo who should be referred to as 'Clearing Agent' if indeed there is any at all. It rather the Investigative Bodies. Unless one can say or prove that, the reports the present to the President is different from what he (the President) declares to Ghanaians.
Goodness! Then the whole Africa will be turned into a jungle. This leadership style of clearance, to be adopted by all African nations, that will be the most disastrous continent in the world than it had been over the centuries.
This is the kind of arrogance that we must eschew. As an ardent supporter of NPP, I think this posture is not good for our party. It saddens me that we are repeating the mistakes of NDC
