-

The government says the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) has no basis to describe President Nana Akufo-Addo as a clearing agent.

According to Information Minister Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, every allegation levelled against an appointee of President Nana Akufo-Addo has been investigated by relevant state institutions and the appropriate recommendations later presented to the President.

He said the Akufo-Addo government has rather over the last two and a half years, acted to correct the fundamentals of the Ghanaian economy, which, prior to his assumption of office, were in disarray.

“If the NDC is describing Akufo-Addo as a clearing agent, I can tell you some of the things the president has cleared to the betterment of the country are; the huge debts the NDC left, he has cleared some nurses who have been recruited, people have been recruited into NABCO. All these things are helping to shape the economy and not what the NDC is alleging,” he said.
