The flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama, says his next administration if voted for to be president will fight against corruption in any form.
Mr Mahama blamed Ghana's recent economic woes on corruption and promised to change the narrative as president.
“The impacts of many cases of financial malfeasance, stealing, cost inflation, sole source contracts, and projects that are funded but never completed are becoming more the norm than the exemption. Recently, MPs raised the issue of the Pwalugu multi-purpose dam [project], which was supposed to be an almost $1 billion investment.
“A contract was awarded, and $12 million was paid to the contractor for absolutely no work done. There are many cases that I could cite.”
“I make a firm promise that the administration that I will lead will fight the canker of corruption and defeat it.” The former president saod during an interraction with the Christian Ecumenical Council on Monday, May 20, 2024.
