The founder and leader of the Liberal Party of Ghana (LPG), Percival Kofi Akpaloo, has alleged that renowned legal practitioner Tsatsu Tsikata’s praises of former President John Dramani Mahama’s administration stem from personal benefits he received during that regime, as reported by News Ghana.
Speaking in a media interview, Akpaloo claimed, “Tsatsu Tsikata is praising Mahama’s government because he enjoyed several contracts under that regime. His commendation is not based on objective assessment but personal gains.”
Tsikata recently lauded the Mahama-led government for what he described as its significant strides in governance and development.
However, Akpaloo dismissed these remarks as biased, asserting, “It is easy to praise a government when you benefit directly from it. The ordinary Ghanaian did not see the same progress he is talking about.”
Akpaloo further criticized individuals who, according to him, use their influence to shape public narratives without considering the broader impact on citizens.
He added, “We must look beyond personal interests and focus on the welfare of the people. Praise should come from genuine progress, not personal contracts.”
The allegations have sparked debate, with some questioning Akpaloo’s claims and others calling for transparency in government dealings. Tsatsu Tsikata has not responded to these allegations at the time of this report.
As the 2024 elections approach, such exchanges highlight the intensifying political discourse in Ghana, with figures from various sectors weighing in on the performance of past and present administrations.
