Former President John Dramani Mahama has said that officials of the current administration who have misconducted themselves will be held accountable if the National Democratic Congress (NDC) wins this year’s election.
He observed that corruption has been on the rise under the Akufio-Addo administration
Speaking at Tegbi in the Volta Region Thursday, January 11 as part of his tour of the region, the flagbearer of the NDC said “Now, corruption has broken loose and if it was in the IGP’s custody, it has broken the jail and is running all over the country. It’s obvious that the NPP has no desire or the ability to check corruption because their own people are involved in the corruption, and they cannot deal with it.”
“So I have said if the NPP can’t deal with it when we come, we will deal with it for them. When the NDC comes, we will hold those who have misconducted themselves accountable.”
He also served notice to NDC members who will serve in his administration should he win the polls that he will not shield them if they engage in corruption.
“But I must also caution our own people that those of us who go into positions of authority if you also abuse your trust, I am not going to come and defend you.”
“We are a listening party, and we believe that power is given to a political party or to leaders to come and serve us. We are not seeking power just to be arrogant and opulent in our attitude. We are seeking power because we want to solve the rightful needs of our people,” he added.
