Popular morning show host in Kumasi, Andrew Akuoko Korankye, also known as Captain Koda, has sparked controversy by describing President Mahama as a “senior clearing agent” barely a month into office.
This statement comes after the president instructed his Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Dr Dominic Akurutinga Ayine to discontinue corruption cases against prominent NDC members who were standing trial at various courts of competent jurisdiction.
According to the host of OTEC FM’s Morning show Nyansapo, this trend is “strange” and undermines the rule of law.
