President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo is under pressure from some influential chiefs to compromise on his anti-corruption agenda, in the name of reconciliation; that\u2019s according to anti-corruption campaigner and former Attorney General, Martin Amidu.<\/p>\n
\u201cI assure every Ghanaian that the evidence of criminal and unconstitutional conduct is overwhelming, but unconstitutional attempts are being made through influential chiefs and elders to let bygones be bygones contrary to the demands of the Constitution for accountability, transparency and fairness in governance. May the 7th Parliament and the President remember that even walls have ears and we hear the attempts at trying to compromise the President\u2019s anti-corruption agenda in the name of reconciliation. The President\u2019s anti-corruption drive will be still-born with such compromises and reconciliations.\u201d<\/p>\n
