General Secretary of the largest opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia says the CDD report on corruption, crime and joblessness resonate with the position of his party for the past two years about the Akufo-Addo administration.

He said the CDD report is far from the truth that the majority of Ghanaians do not believe that the Akufo-Addo government can put an end to corruption and the high rate of crime in the country.

According to the NDC Chief Scribe, the root cause of unemployment and the high crime rate in the country is corruption which is rampant under the administration of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

Explaining on Okay FM’s 'Ade Akye Abia' Morning Show, Asiedu Nketia said that job creation and developmental projects which are largely dependent on the limited resources are being shared among some few individuals in the Akufo-Addo government, making the majority of the youth suffer to find their daily bread.

He was of the view that until corruption is reduced in the country, development will never take place and expansion of job opportunities will not be possible; thus, the inability of the government to address the corruption in the country will not make the job creation happen.

“Another effect of corruption is crime . . . if the government through conscious policies do things that the citizens will feel they are marginalized, this will bring discontent in society . . ." he said.

He further indicated that the CDD report on the 2020 general elections echoes the long-standing position of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), that the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) did not win the election except that they manipulated the system to remain in power.
