And everybody knows that when you fight corruption, corruption fights back at you and depending on who you are in his [Akufo-Addo’s] administration, you can do whatever you want and get away with it,” he said. The former President stated categorically that the confidence Ghanaians reposed in the Akufo-Addo government to fight corruption has weakened. It is the same as asking the EC Commissioner to go on leave or the Chief Justice to go on leave”, Mahama observed.
