President Nana Akuffo Addo's term is coming to an end, and he is set to face unprecedented scrutiny.
Unlike his predecessors, who enjoyed peaceful retirements, Akuffo Addo is poised to face a reckoning. The new National Democratic Congress (NDC) government, set to take power on January 7, 2025, is expected to hold him and his administration accountable for alleged missteps and corrupt practices.
During his presidency, Akuffo Addo faced intense scrutiny from the NDC, who effectively put his government on severe checks. The NDC's relentless efforts to hold Akuffo Addo accountable were evident in their vocal opposition to his policies and decisions. This level of accountability was unprecedented, showcasing the NDC's commitment to transparency and responsibility.
Some of the key areas where the NDC held Akuffo Addo's government accountable include:
- *Appointment of Judges*:
The NDC accused Akuffo Addo of packing the courts with "NPP judges," which they claimed was an attempt to undermine the independence of the judiciary.
- *Presidential Travel*:
The NDC criticized Akuffo Addo's use of private jets for presidential travel, which they deemed unnecessary and extravagant.
- *National Cathedral Saga*:
The NDC questioned the government's decision to build a national cathedral, which they saw as a waste of resources.
- *Ghana's Economy*:
The NDC criticized Akuffo Addo's handling of the economy, particularly the printing of more money, which they claimed led to inflation and economic instability.
- *Coronavirus Vaccines*:
The NDC questioned the government's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic spendings, particularly the procurement and distribution of vaccines.
With the NDC set to take over the government, Akuffo Addo can expect even greater challenges. The NDC's victory in the 2024 elections is seen as a mandate to hold Akuffo Addo and his government accountable for their actions. As the tables turn, Akuffo Addo's ability to withstand the heat will be closely watched.
The NDC's relentless efforts to hold the Nana Addo-Bawumia's government accountable have set the stage for a dramatic showdown.
With the NDC in power, Akuffo Addo can expect nothing but intense scrutiny. The question now is; will he be able to withstand the heat from the NDC in power?
