he President of the Central University College, Prof Kwesi Yankah says the tendency of government appointees embroiled in corruption scandals to later find work at the presidency is making that office a “comfortable refuge for the corrupt”.
Speaking at a Corruption conference organised by the Institute of Economic Affairs, Prof Kwesi Yankah mentioned former Sports minister Elvis Afriyie Ankrah who after a scandal-plagued Word Cup showing in Brazil was quickly reshuffled to the presidency.
He said Mr. Ankrah, widely believed to have performed poorly as a minister under whose aegis the World Cup fiasco occurred now finds himself among the presidential staff at the Flagstaff House.
According to Prof. Yankah, the failure to investigate appointees of government mired in corruption-related matters was fueling the perception there is a lack of will to fight the canker.
