Former Director General of the Ghana School of Law, Kwaku Ansa-Asare, has said that he’s vindicated in the predictions that Akufo-Addo-led government would be suffocated with nepotism and grand scheme scandals.
In an interview on Citi FM on Monday, May 27, Ansa-Asare disclosed that his prediction before the 2016 elections has manifested.
“When Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo took over some seven years ago, I was interviewed and I said that I can predict that the administration will be suffocated by scandals and I have been proven right.
“My apprehension is that the man in charge of the government had too many friends and I saw that it was going to be a government of family and friends and it turned out to be a government of friends,” he stated
Ansa-Asare explained that the Ghanaian culture makes it difficult for family and friends to manage anything effectively. It is based on that assumption that he said the President would fail due to the numerous friends he had.
“In this country, our culture is that when you are in business with your family and friends, nothing gets done rightly so from time to time, I remember whispering into the ears of someone who easily has access to the president to advise him on some of these things because if you look at the people who have been appointed as ministers, quite a number of them have cobwebs in their drawers and it is like one of the conditions for appointment is that you must have soiled your hands.”
