P.C. Appiah Ofori<\/figcaption><\/figure>
\nThe Member of Parliament for Asikuma-Odoben-Brakwa, PC Appiah Ofori, is furious no public official under the past and present governments has been prosecuted for corruption in spite of credible evidence of corrupt practices.
\nAccording to him, the president only pays lip service to the fight against corruption but lacks the political will to fight the canker. \u201cHe (president) condemns corruption just by word of mouth; that is nothing. And I am calling on him that he should not do it by word of mouth\u201d he told Joy News.
\nThe MP is not impressed with the tall list of past appointees who are at various stages of prosecution for various acts of financial misappropriation under the present government.
\nHe finds it laughable the charge of ‘misapplication of funds’ leveled against Deputy Ministers Prof Gyan Baffour and Dr Akoto Osei in the management of the TOR debt, saying no Attorney General can secure conviction in the name of corruption. \u201cIf you give me money to pay TOR debt and as a result of problems facing Ghana government in other areas the money is used to do other things, is it stealing, is it corruption? Can you secure corruption prosecution out of it?\u201d
\nAccording to PC Appiah Ofori, there are people who engaged in corrupt practices not only ministers who must be prosecuted.
\nHe cited an accountant in the office of a former senior minister\u2019s office who he alleged was engaged in corrupt practices and who must be prosecuted. He said the audit report is also replete with numerous acts of corruption but which has not been dealt with by the Mills government.
\nWhen he was challenged to mention names of corrupt past public officials who deserves prosecution, the MP retorted: \u201cDon\u2019t waste my time; go and read the Auditor General\u2019s Report and you will see them there.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
