Host of Good Morning Ghana on Metro TV, Moro Awudu, has questioned why outspoken politician Kwame A Plus, otherwise known as A Plus, has not reported alleged corruption involving government appointees to the appropriate authorities.
Speaking on his show on Monday, April 13, Moro Awudu said while concerns about corruption are valid, they must be backed by action.
“If you have this information why don’t you submit that information to the appropriate quarters?” he asked.
His comments follow claims by A Plus that some government officials have acquired state property, raising questions about the credibility of anti-corruption efforts.
Dr. Yeboah acknowledged that A Plus is “very outspoken and politically minded,” noting that his comments reflect broader public concern about corruption.
“Every one of us is very much concerned about corruption, particularly with public officials,” he said.
However, he stressed that public commentary alone is not enough, especially for someone in a position of influence.
“This is not an ordinary member of our society… he’s an independent member of parliament,” he said.
“If you are a member of parliament and you are privy to this information… what have you done with this information as part of your civic responsibility?”
Moro Awudu also questioned the timing and manner in which the claims were made, pointing out that the allegations surfaced during a media interview rather than through formal channels.
“You had to take a journalist to interview you… but if you have this information… why don’t you submit that information?” he reiterated.
He further argued that institutions such as the Office of the Special Prosecutor are better placed to investigate such claims, including conducting lifestyle audits.
“There’s even a special prosecutor… you are earning this amount of money and yet you’ve been able to acquire [assets]. How did you acquire it?” he said.
While conceding that some issues raised may be moral rather than strictly criminal, Moro Awudu maintained that they still warrant scrutiny.
“It is a legitimate concern and we can’t let it slide,” he said, adding that questions about how public officials acquire wealth within short periods must be addressed.
He also took issue with suggestions that such information could be held back for strategic or personal reasons.
“What do you want to achieve by keeping that information close to your chest?” he asked.
