Prince Kofi Amoabeng, a businessman and the founder of the now-defunct UT Bank and UT Holdings, claims that corruption has intensified under the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo government.
According to Kofi Amoabeng, a retired captain in the Ghana Armed Forces, instead of combating corruption, the government has encouraged it.

The businessman, who made these views in an interview with TV3 on September 11, 2024, suggested that the president should be concerned about the extent of corruption in his government because people who had nothing have suddenly become extremely wealthy.
you see, they know themselves as in the president and his people. And you must see that these guys’ level of spending and the whole demeanour of the person and the asset he is controlling is way, way, way beyond its means and impossible.
“Won’t you ask me a question and say, ‘My brother, it’s too much.'” The president must see it. So they are fostering corruption because you see, individuals who had nothing, had never worked before, and now they had all the vehicles and properties. People claim they have bank accounts and travel all over the place. They have no job to their name. So, do you believe they are tackling corruption? “No, no,” he replied.
Kofi Amoabeng also restated his support for former President John Dramani Mahama, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) candidate in the upcoming presidential election on December 7, 2024.
He indicated that Mahama, in his view, would be a better president because of his experience.
