Kwamena Duncan, former Central Regional Minister, has said that ex-president John Dramani Mahama should be in jail by now judging from how badly the former president ran the country during his tenure as president of the country.
According to Mr. Duncan, Mr. Mahama has no moral right to criticize President Akufo-Addo. His response comes after former president John Mahama, during his recent ‘Thank You’ tour in Wa in the Upper East Region, accused the President of mismanaging the economy and charged Ghanaians to vote out the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) in 2024.
“The NPP has no intention of fighting corruption, and so the only way they can be made to account to the people of Ghana is for them to leave office so that the new government will come and audit them and show where they have gone wrong.
“Otherwise, all the money they have stolen, they will just walk away with it. If you participate in politics or are a participant in public service, one of the first things you must be willing to do is to be accountable to the people,” Mr. Mahama said.
He added; “The only way they could be accountable is for them to leave office so that the people of Ghana can ask them questions and audit them to make sure they account for the period they were in office.”
In reacting to these assertions from Mr. Mahama, on an Accra-based radio station, Mr. Duncan said that the Ex-President was receiving kickbacks in the purchase of aircraft for the Ghana Armed Forces.
“President Mahama today has the gut to talk about corruption. If it was elsewhere, President Mahama indeed should be doing some time in the jail,” he said.
