Akuffo Addo’s 8-years was a total mess full with hardships- Former Legal Advisor to President Kufuor
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Vickie Bright, a former legal advisor to President John Agyekum Kufuor, has expressed deep disappointment with the eight-year tenure of President Nana Akufo-Addo, describing it as “a total mess” marked by hardships.

Bright noted that Ghanaians initially had high expectations from Akufo-Addo, with widespread goodwill following his election.

She emphasized “Ghanaians had big expectations from Akufo-Addo, and there was such goodwill following his election. I remember when he was elected; even the Makola women reduced the prices of their goods before he could take any action. As soon as spare parts dealers in Abossey Okai joined in, it was clear they were excited, thinking Akufo-Addo would show them how things should be done.

“Unfortunately, by the end of his tenure, everything had fallen apart like a deflated balloon.”

However, she lamented that these hopes were dashed as the administration faced criticism for an over-bloated government with over 100 ministers in a country of just 32 million people.

“It’s sad; that’s not what we expected. We have an over-bloated government. As a small country of 32 million people, we have no business having over 100 ministers”

Speaking with JoyNews AM show monitored by Kumasimail.com, Vickie Bright criticized the government’s spending habits, questioning the use of private jets for international trips to seek aid while other leaders use public transport.

She said “one thing I couldn’t wrap my head around is that you take a private jet, fuel it with so much money, and then go to a country with your cup in hand to sit in front of someone asking for money, when that person has simply taken a train to work. I mean, there’s something seriously wrong with that.”

She further condemned the purchase of luxury vehicles like V8s, labeling them as depreciating assets that Ghana cannot afford.

“Buying these V8s, they are all depreciating assets. Why are we buying V8s in the first place? I don’t understand. We don’t need to buy these cars; we can’t afford them”

“What is it about us that makes us want things we really cannot afford when there are more pressing things we should be spending our money on? I felt things could have gone better under the previous Akufo-Addo administration. I find it sad and unfortunate how things ended”, she rebuked

She stressed that the hardships faced by Ghanaians, including pensioners who suffered from investment “haircuts,” contributed to widespread discontent, as evidenced by the recent election results.

“It’s not just me, but Ghanaians too. Look at how the election results turned out, nobody won by such a huge margin, so it’s clear that people were upset.

“There was a lot of hardship. I mean, pensioners were sitting in the sun, some needing money for their medication, and even for haircuts. I mean, it was a mess”, she explained.
