Pressure group, Caucus for Democratic Governance has warned the President of Ghana, H.E Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) Government to step down or else they will initiate processes to impeach him.
The group acknowledged effort of government in reducing corruption in the country and therefore congratulated the President for sacking the four Chief Executive Officers (CEOs)- Ghana Export Promotion Authority (GEPA) Gifty Klenam; CEO of Korle Bu Hospital Dr Anyaa; CEO of Bulk Oil Storage and Transportation (BOST) Alfred Obeng Boateng; and CEO of Ghana Ports and Harbours Authority (GPHA) Paul Asare Ansah, but they still doubt the competence of government since in their view there is still massive corruption and hardship in the country.
In a press statement signed by the convener Dr. E. K Hayford, the caucus stressed that Article 71 shows clearly that many of the lapses and inefficiencies in the payments are as a result of the disconnect between the Parliamentary Service Board and the Controller and Accountant Generals Department.
“The lack of communication between the two bodies has resulted over the years in billions of cedis of the taxpayer’s money going down the drain” he stressed.
The group believes there has been wide spread of corruption in government and the dissolving and sacking of some few officials recently isn’t enough.
Apart from the double salary payment allegations, there is also the double rent allowance scandal which is agitating the minds and the interest of the public.
He further stated that the average Ghanaian is suffering, the Marco economic statistics are not reflecting the realities on the ground.
Prices of the fuel are high and are still rising, prices of food and other commodities have gone up, spare parts, rent, and transportation have gone up as well.
CDG noted that there are no jobs and 40% of our population above 18 years have no jobs.
“Are the promises given by Nana Addo among others to create employment during the 2016 election empty promises?” the group mentioned.
The group lamented the continuous shutdown of the University of Ghana Medical Centre (UGMC) and also called for redress concerning the $89m KenliGVG deal by the Ministry of Communications.
