Speaking during his first State of the Nation Address (SONA) in his second term on Thursday, February 27, in Parliament, he stated that he had directed security agencies to declare them wanted.
“Such brazen stealing of state resources should not go unpunished,” he said while assuring Ghanaians that all those involved would face the full rigours of the law.
He further pledged to fight corruption, making it unattractive by strengthening institutions to prevent financial mismanagement.
He stressed that his government would not tolerate corruption, promising strict enforcement of laws to protect public resources.
