Hopeson Adorye, a Ghanaian politician, has expressed disappointment with the country’s tendency to celebrate individuals who do not contribute meaningfully to society.
He cited Inspector General of Police (IGP) Dampare as an example, claiming that he “scammed the whole Ghana” after taking office.Adorye referenced the unsolved murder of Ahmed Suale, a Ghanaian journalist. He noted that when Kennedy Agyapong, a Member of Parliament, alleged that IGP Dampare knew the identity of Suale’s killer, the media failed to take the claim seriously. Adorye suggested that there were individuals who sponsored Suale’s killing in an attempt to discredit Agyapong and pointed out that these individuals are allegedly from Agyapong’s own
party.
He emphasized the importance of change in bringing to light various wrongdoings that would have otherwise gone unnoticed. Adorye stated, “Change is good. If Ghanaians hadn’t voted to change the government, many of the bad deeds that Ghanaians are now aware of would have remained hidden.” This highlights his belief that the shift in government has fostered a level of transparency and accountability that was previously lacking.
