Some elements in Nana Addo's government are also corrupt - Prof. Martey

Outspoken former moderator of the Presbyterian Church, Very Reverend Prof. Emmanuel Martey says some appointees of President Akufo-Addo are corrupt. Speaking to the media, he said their corrupt nature dents their image and bad choices for the president.

He said, “NPP also has bad elements.” “Even some of their appointees are not correct…they are corrupt,” he added. On the issue of illegal mining popularly called galamsey, Rev. Prof. Martey accused the Mahama led administration of allowing the menace to thrive.

“I don’t want to go into politics but it was in Mahama’s administration that this thing [galamsey] became worse. I met Mahama, we sat down and I complained about this galamsey.

He told me that he was able to identify the Ghanaian who was bringing the Chinese to Ghana so they will deal with it.

But rather, things got worse, so if the government will sit up and selflessly manage our country, this galamsey business will be solved,” he said.
