Concerns are growing over the apparent inaction of state institutions following corruption claims made by Member of Parliament for Gomoa Central Kwame Asare Obeng, poppularly known as A Plus, with a lecturer warning that silence from authorities could weaken public confidence in the fight against corruption.
Speaking on Good Morning Ghana on Metro TV on Monday, April 13, 2026, Dr. Hayford Yeboah of Wisconsin International University College questioned why no official steps have been taken days after the allegations surfaced online.
The claims, which have been circulating on social media for nearly a week, suggest that some government appointees have acquired state property under questionable circumstances.
Despite the seriousness of the allegations, Dr. Yeboah noted that no known invitation has been extended to A Plus to assist with investigations.
“This video has been in the social media landscape for… more than a week now,” he said, adding, “and there’s no… reaction.”
He argued that state security agencies, particularly the police, have a duty to act even when allegations emerge from informal channels.
“The police should react. You hear some of these rumours on air, on social media… but look,” he said, stressing that such claims should not be dismissed outright.
Dr. Hayford Yeboah said while some may treat the allegations “with a pinch of salt,” the nature of the claims requires at least preliminary scrutiny to establish the facts.
He warned that failure to act promptly could create the impression that institutions are either unwilling or unable to deal with suspected wrongdoing involving public officials.
The lecturer also pointed out that corruption concerns in Ghana often gain traction when there is a visible gap between public officials’ known incomes and their lifestyles.
“Within a short period of time we see them… in terms of material possession there’s a wide variation… and [it] becomes suspicious,” he said.
