Former President John Dramani Mahama has committed to take any corrupt appointees of Nana Addo’s administration accountable.
Mr. Mahama stated that, in addition to all of his ideas and vision for the country, one of the challenges he will address is corruption.
According to him, even his own appointees would be held accountable.
He also promised to make sure the country’s resources are managed appropriately and ethically.
He made the comments during his New Year’s Message to Ghanaians on Wednesday, January 3, 2024.
He said “Ladies and gentlemen, in addition to these interventions, I am passionate about the fight against corruption and uprooting poor governance to ensure that our resources are used responsibly and ethically. I firmly believe a transparent and accountable government is essential for building trust and confidence in our institutions.
We would hold to account members of this administration who have abused the public trust by misconducting themselves in office.”
He further promised to allow anti-corruption bodies to work effectively without any interference from the government.
But more importantly, we would also allow unfettered space for the anti-corruption agencies to deal with anyone who abuses the public trust under my administration.
By strengthening anti-corruption measures, promoting good governance, and upholding the rule of law, we shall create a fairer and more equitable society where everyone can thrive.
We will reduce the size of the government in our bid to cut down on expenditure. We will combine ministries and remove government agencies that duplicate each other. In other words, we in government will also Jghten our belts, even as we call on our people to make whatever sacrifices are necessary for national revival.
As we look forward to the year ahead, I want to assure you, the people of Ghana, that I am fully committed, on behalf of Ghana’s most development-oriented political party, the NDC, to deliver on these promises.”
