Investigative Journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni shared his thoughts on the ongoing corruption under the New Patriotic Party (NPP) led by Nana Addo.
According to the Investigative journalist, Nana Addo won the 2016 election because Ghanaians were outraged about corruption and not Free SHS.
He recounted that Free SHS was not what brought Akufo-Addo to power. Akufo-Addo promised Free SHS in 2008 and lost. He promised Free SHS in 2012 and lost.
Backing his statement, Manasseh Azure Awuni disclosed that President Akufo Addo has taken corruption to an absurd level and undermined anti-corruption agencies like the Auditor-General.
The Unbridled corruption of years of yore has impoverished so many people that they cannot afford decent livelihoods and pay the fees of their wards, he said.

In 2016, he won mainly because Ghanaians were outraged about corruption. And what has he done about the fight against corruption which he promised? Not only has he taken sin to an absurd level, but he has undermined anti-corruption agencies like the Auditor-General.
But some people say he has brought about free SHS, so we should refrain from discussing corruption. Why not? The unbridled corruption of years of yore has impoverished so many people that they cannot afford decent livelihoods and pay the fees of their wards.
The interests and repayments of the misapplied and stolen billions we borrowed are choking us. And people will attend school for free and go back to their parents' single rooms to hustle for apparent reasons.
Whether we talk about it or not, corruption has consequences for everyone, including those who have insured their future generations against poverty by stealing and hoarding what belongs to all of us.
It is possible to have implemented free SHS without corruption." he said.
