Politics Akufo Addo’s One Year Performance -ICU Marks NPP 80% By admin Posted on February 9, 2018 3 min read 0 0 189 Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Google+ Share on Reddit Share on Pinterest Share on Linkedin Share on Tumblr By Adu Koranteng The Industrial and Commercial Workers union has granted the administration of President Nana Akufo Addo a favorable 80 percent rating. Speaking to the media yesterday, General Secretary of the ICU, Solomon Kotei, praised President Akufo Addo for distinguishing himself as a selfless, bold and courageous leader who is ever readyto any ill in society. He explained that the 80 percent rating was “because of the few issues of corruption that came up, and the way they were dealt with. We thought they could have been more professionally handled. We look at the A-plus matter and we also look at the issue that took place at BOST.” He however said eliminating corruption would be crucial in meeting growth targets. Looking into the future, Mr. Kotei said the country would have taken a step forward if citizens also saw persons within the NPP government being prosecuted and not only persons from the past National Democratic Congress [NDC] government. “If the special prosecutor really is going to rise up, we think that charity begins at home. We want to see that those that fingers are pointed at within the NPP must also be put before this special prosecutor so that we would have a fair balance because corruption is not only in previous governments. It is all over as we have seen,” he said. President Akufo-Addo assented to the Office of the Special Prosecutor Bill last week to mark the fulfillment of a major campaign promise in the run-up to the 2016 elections. The Bill defined the modalities for the appointment and operations of the Special Prosecutor, which will have the mandate to investigate and prosecute cases of alleged corruption under the Public Procurement Act 203 Act 63, and other corruption-related offenses implicating public officers, political office holders and their accomplices in the public sector. The NPP has sent out signals to the effect that it will go after corrupt officials within the past NDC government.
