Former Youth Organiser of the main opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Anthony Karbo, has said his party�s two-time presidential Candidate, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, hasn�t the slightest blot of corruption against his name. Karbo said attempts by detractors to paint the former Attorney General as a corruption condoner ahead of his March 20 announcement about whether to run for President again, will not wash. A group aligned to the governing Party, the Reform for Youth Empowerment, in a statement on Tuesday challenged Nana Akufo-Addo to denounce certain corruption allegations leveled against the leadership of his Party. Party bank-roller Kennedy Agyapong accused the current national executives of thievery and financial malfeasance. The Group says as a potential president, Nana Akufo-Addo necessarily has to come out to speak about the corruption allegations since �Ghanaians dislike corruption, thievery and will never tolerate a leadership which is corrupt in opposition and is seeking to form the next government.� It added that: �A corrupt opposition is more treacherous than a perceived corrupt government.� Reacting to the Group on Accra-based Asempa FM, Mr Karbo said no iota of corruption could be traced to Nana Akufo-Addo in his 30 years of public service. He said Nana Akufo-Addo�s is as pure and clean as a new born baby as far as corruption is concerned. Nana Akufo-Addo is expected to end months of speculations about his future in politics on Thursday. He was in London for six months after the Supreme Court upheld President John Mahama�s victory in a protracted election petition after the 2012 elections.
