Your reactions borne out of some form of inducement – Apaak to Kofi Bentil

The Member of Parliament for Builsa South, Dr. Clement Apaak has stated the double standard comments from the Vice President of IMANI Africa, Kofi Bentil cannot be without some form of inducement.

Your reactions borne out of some form of inducement. This is the latest bold statement by Dr. Apaak to Kofi Bentil of IMANI Ghana fame.

This follows the Vice President of IMANI Africa, Kofi Bentil stating that President Akufo-Addo’s government is more corrupt than during former President John Mahama.

Speaking during a Newsfile show on JoyFM, the Vice President for IMANI Africa stated that this current administration has been disappointing with respect to corruption.

“This government has been more corrupt than the Mahama government and that’s disappointing, that’s terrible but that is why this government is going away.

“If this was a vote for their second term, I would’ve voted them out because I will be voting for Nana Addo and this government,” Mr. Bentil stated.

Commenting on the issues, the Builsa South lawmaker stated that how can the Vice President be excluded from this current administration as Mr. Bentil wanted the nation to believe in his earlier statements.

“What logic is this? You publicly admit that the government is corrupt and has mismanaged the economy. The Vice President is part of the corrupt government, which has mismanaged the economy.

“In fact, he is the 2nd in command. So, how can we blame the government yet excuse the Vice President? Such an illogical argument cannot be without some form of inducement,” Dr. Clement Apaak stated.
