Anyone who stashes so much money at home doesn’t love this country – Ga Mantse

The Ga Mantse, King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II, has voiced his disapproval over the recent scandal involving the former Minister of Sanitation, who was found with large sums of cash at home.

He emphasised that such actions are inappropriate for a public official and should be condemned by all well-meaning Ghanaians.

In an interview with Citi FM on Sunday, June 2, King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II stated that anyone engaging in such behaviour does not have the country's best interest at heart.

He argued that these actions reflect a lack of patriotism and a disregard for the nation’s welfare.

The King insisted that individuals who demonstrate such self-serving behaviour have no place in leadership.

He expressed concern that allowing such individuals to lead would result in the further misuse of state resources for personal gain.

“It beats my mind how someone who says they love this country so much could stash so much money in their room.

“Corruption is everywhere. I believe that the government must find a way to stamp its authority on corruption.”

Meanwhile, King Tackie Teiko Tsuru II highlighted the efforts of the Ga Mantse Foundation in supporting education in Accra.

He noted that his office has donated thousands of starter packs to school children to enhance their educational experience.

“I could’ve used all that money to live in luxury, buy a V8, or do whatever. But I’m interested in the welfare of my people," he added.
