Former President John Dramani Mahama has stated emphatically that he will hold current administration officials who have misconducted themselves if he is elected as president in the 2024 elections.
He noted that the Akufo-Addo government has seen an increase in corruption. During his tour of the region, the NDC flagbearer spoke at Tegbi in the Volta Region.
“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.”
In addition, he gave notice to NDC members who would be part of his administration if he were to win the election that he would not defend them against 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.
