Prominent Ghanaians from various sectors have voiced their discontent, highlighting the urgency for accountability and reform.

Despite initial promises to combat corruption upon taking office, the administration has faced significant criticism from stakeholders for failing to meet the expectations of the Ghanaian people.

Since his re-election in December 2020, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has been embroiled in&nbsp;a series of&nbsp;high-profile scandals, undermining his&nbsp;administration's&nbsp;reputation and raising concerns about governance and transparency.

Here are eight notable individuals who&nbsp;have recently criticized the Nana Addo government over corruption.

Former Special Prosecutor Martin Amidu is one of the most high-profile critics of the current administration.

Amidu, who resigned in 2020, cited interference and a lack of political will to tackle corruption as primary reasons for his departure.

His resignation letter described the&nbsp;government's&nbsp;handling of the Agyapa Royalties deal as fraught with potential corruption, a stance that&nbsp;resonated deeply with many Ghanaians who are frustrated with the perceived lack of transparency and accountability in managing the&nbsp;nation's&nbsp;resources.

<h3>Nana&nbsp;Addo's&nbsp;gov't&nbsp;is the most corrupt in&nbsp;Ghana's&nbsp;history — Ansa-Asare</h3>

Kwaku Ansa-Asare, former Director of the Ghana School of Law, has labelled President Nana Addo Dankwa&nbsp;Akufo-Addo's&nbsp;government as the most corrupt in&nbsp;Ghana's&nbsp;history.

Ansa-Asare asserted that the NPP government lacks genuine commitment to fighting corruption.

In an interview with Citi News, he said he&nbsp;doesn’t&nbsp;have the statistics but&nbsp;watching&nbsp;the political&nbsp;terrain,&nbsp;and the various approaches to the fight against corruption.

He said&nbsp;that this&nbsp;is the worst government we have ever had to combat corruption.

When comparing Nana Addo to previous Presidents, he claimed that the current leader ranks as the worst the country has seen.

Investigative journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni has consistently highlighted&nbsp;issues of corruption&nbsp;within the Nana Addo administration.

Known for his fearless reporting, Awuni has published numerous investigative pieces exposing corruption scandals.

His work on the&nbsp;"Contract for Sale"&nbsp;exposé&nbsp;brought to light&nbsp;the dubious sale of government contracts by the Public Procurement Authority, leading to the resignation and arrest of its CEO, Adjenim Boateng Adjei.

Awuni’s&nbsp;relentless pursuit of truth&nbsp;continues to hold&nbsp;the government accountable and informs the public discourse on corruption.

<h3>Nana&nbsp;Addo's&nbsp;gov't&nbsp;most corrupt since 1992 — Martin Kpebu</h3>

Lawyer Martin Kpebu has described the government led by President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo as the most corrupt since 1992.

According to him, corruption has been a big problem with the government&nbsp;and&nbsp;Nana Addo is&nbsp;not willing to act on it&nbsp;swiftly.

His reactions come following the theft case at the former Minister of Sanitation and Water Resources, Cecilia&nbsp;Dapaah's&nbsp;home&nbsp;where corruption-related offences regarding large amounts of money&nbsp;were allegedly stolen&nbsp;from her home.

Economist and former Rector of the Ghana Institute of Management and Public Administration (GIMPA), Prof. Stephen Adei, has not minced words in criticizing the&nbsp;government’s&nbsp;approach to corruption.

Adei, who has served in various advisory roles, including as the&nbsp;Chairman of the&nbsp;National Development Planning Commission (NDPC), publicly condemned the pervasive corruption he perceives within the current administration.

He, therefore, urged Nana Addo to take more decisive action against corrupt officials to restore public trust.

Franklin Cudjoe, the founding President and CEO of IMANI Africa, a policy think tank, has been vocal about the Nana Addo&nbsp;administration's&nbsp;failure to curb corruption.

Cudjoe's&nbsp;critiques are grounded in detailed policy analysis and empirical research, often highlighting the inefficiencies and corrupt practices within government projects and contracts.

Reymond Awusei Johnson

His organization has released several reports detailing corruption and governance issues, which have fueled public debates and calls for greater governmental transparency and accountability.

Actress and activist Yvonne Nelson has used her platform to speak&nbsp;out&nbsp;against corruption and bad governance.

Known for her activism,&nbsp;particularly&nbsp;through the #DumsorMustStop campaign, which addressed the&nbsp;country's&nbsp;severe power crisis, Nelson has also turned her attention to corruption in Nana&nbsp;Addo's&nbsp;government.

She frequently&nbsp;takes to&nbsp;social media to express her disappointment and&nbsp;to&nbsp;mobilize young Ghanaians to demand better governance.

Selorm Tali

Nelson’s&nbsp;outspokenness resonates with many young citizens&nbsp;who are&nbsp;increasingly disillusioned with political corruption.

<h3>Ga Mantse slams&nbsp;gov't&nbsp;over&nbsp;corruption</h3>

The Ga Mantse, King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, has entered the fray over the controversy surrounding the large sums of money discovered in the home of former Sanitation Minister, Cecilia Dapaah.

While some argued that there is nothing amiss and that Madam Dapaah is not required to explain the source of the money, the Ga Mantse has stated that anyone who engages in such practices does not have the best interests of Ghana at heart.

Gideon Nicholas Day

Expressing his dissatisfaction with the corruption in Ghana, he emphasised that&nbsp;such actions must be condemned&nbsp;as they are unacceptable.
