In 2018, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo urged Ghanaians against serving as fronts for foreign companies to defraud the country.

He stressed the importance of citizens being accountable to one another when it comes to paying taxes, protecting state properties, and not engaging foreigners to get away with illegalities.

This, he said, would help achieve the Ghana Beyond Aid agenda.

Akufo-Addo made the statement at the 61st Anniversary of Ghana’s independence at Black Stars Square.
