Media personality Kwasi Kyei Darkwah (KKD) has sparked fresh political debate after declaring that a serious Ghana would have prosecuted former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and New Patriotic Party (NPP) Ashanti Regional Chairman Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, over alleged corruption.
Speaking on Okay FM during a discussion on governance and accountability, KKD argued that the country’s anti-corruption institutions should apply the law equally regardless of political status or influence. According to him, if Ghana was fully committed to fighting corruption without fear or favour, both men would have faced prosecution if sufficient evidence existed to support such action.
KKD further maintained that no individual should be above the law, stressing that public confidence in democratic institutions depends on accountability and equal justice. His remarks have generated widespread reactions across social media and political circles, with supporters praising his stance while critics argue that allegations of corruption should be determined through due legal process rather than public commentary.
The comments add to the ongoing national conversation about corruption, governance and institutional independence as Ghanaians continue to debate how public officials should be held accountable.
