Former Lands and Natural Resources Minister is challenging president Nana Akufo-Addo to walk the talk of fighting corruption and not to compare his record to his predecessors.<\/p>\n

Inusah Fuseini said Ghanaians will use the standards president Akufo-Addo set for himself and the commitment he made to fighting corruption to judge him and not the standards of his immediate predecessor John Mahama and the others before him.<\/p>\n

While he believes President Akufo-Addo looks like a \u201cpresident with a purpose\u201d, the Tamale Central MP said Akufo-Addo has been a \u201clame duck president\u201d thus far.<\/p>\n

He made the comments on Joy FM\u2019s Newsfile programme, Saturday while contributing to the allegations of corruption levelled against three government appointees.<\/p>\n

Communications Minister Ursula Owusu Ekuful, and two Chiefs of Staff Abu Jinapor and Boakye Asenso have all been accused of bribery and corruption, allegations they have all vehemently denied.<\/p>\n

Their accusers, Assin Central MP Kennedy Agyapong and musician A Plus have all been contacted by the CID to provide evidence to back their allegations.<\/p>\n

Despite the investigations, Inusah Fuseini believes the president is not doing enough in the fight against corruption.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes I have a feeling that he is a man on a purpose. Other times I have a feeling that he appears to be a lame duck president. I can cite many examples of not acting,\u201d he pointed out.<\/p>\n

He said the president must accompany his speeches with actions.<\/p>\n

\u201cLeadership is not talking. Leadership is doing,\u201d he said, adding the president must direct the Attorney General to prosecute members of the Delta Forces who invaded a Kumasi Circuit court to free their colleagues.<\/p>\n

When his attention was drawn to the failure by the John Mahama administration to prosecute cases of corruption, Inusa Fuseini was quick with a retort.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat is why we voted for change. Not so? Repeating mistakes is not experience. The standard is not president John Mahama or other presidents. We are holding president Nana Akufo-Addo to the standards he set for himself.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said the president must keep an eye on his appointees, especially those at the presidency.<\/p>\n

Deputy Finance Minister Kweku Kwarteng who was also on the show said the controversy must not be looked at as a \u201cparty matter.\u201d<\/p>\n

He said just as the accusers have a right to make allegations, the persons against whom the allegations have been made also have a right to clear their name and can use all remedies available to them to do that.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
