The Flagbearer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama, has once again voiced strong criticism against the current administration, accusing it of unchecked and widespread corruption.

Mr. Mahama likened corruption to an unbridled entity running amok throughout the country.

During his tour of the Volta region on Thursday, January 11, Mr. Mahama asserted that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is incapable of eliminating corruption, highlighting the involvement of its members in such malfeasance.

Addressing the crowd in Tegbi, the former president pledged that his administration, if elected, would make concerted efforts to eradicate corruption.

Furthermore, he issued a caution to party members holding positions of authority, emphasizing that he would not shield them if found guilty of corruption.

“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 people are involved in the corruption, and they cannot deal with it.”

“So I have said if they [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. But I must also caution our 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.
