The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has brought out a fifty-member list of the current administration within the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government that are directly related to the president, Nana Akufo-Addo.

According to the NDC, Akufo-Addo’s NPP government has championed corruption through nepotism. They accused the NPP government’s cabinet of being filled with ‘family and friends.’

In light of this, the NDC has called for enactment of anti-nepotism laws to check abuse of power by leaders in the country.

Social media was set on fire with discussions about nepotism within the two giant political parties; NPP and NDC. To most people, the NDC party should not point fingers at the NPP when the topic of nepotism rises because they are no different.

Some people also said, it is important to consider whether the Nana Akufo Addo led government appointed relatives that are competent.

Others gave their two cents about the 50 member ‘family and friends’ list released by the NDC.
