In an impassioned declaration, National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer, Mahama, has laid out his plans to eradicate corruption within the government if he emerges victorious in the upcoming December elections.
The former president pledged to tackle corruption head-on, ensuring that both current and past government officials involved in corrupt practices face the full force of the law without any preferential treatment.
Highlighting his commitment to creating a streamlined and accountable government, Mahama distanced himself from the previous ‘father-for-all’ approach adopted during previous administrations.
He expressed regret for instances where corruption allegations were overlooked, emphasizing the need for transparency and accountability in governance.
Addressing a room filled with journalists, Mahama declared, “The people of Ghana demand accountability, and I am ready to deliver on that front.”
He unequivocally stated that his administration would not tolerate any form of corruption, issuing a warning to potential appointees to abide by strict ethical standards or face consequences similar to those faced by previous offenders.
Drawing attention to his past actions, Mahama cited instances where his administration took steps to investigate and prosecute individuals involved in corruption scandals.
He asserted his unwavering commitment to fighting corruption, promising to reclaim misappropriated funds and hold perpetrators accountable for their actions.
With the upcoming elections on the horizon, Mahama launched a scathing critique of the current government, accusing them of failing to deliver on their promises and plunging the country into economic turmoil.
He urged voters to embrace change and entrust the NDC with the task of steering Ghana towards a brighter future characterized by economic prosperity and social justice.
In his closing remarks, Mahama outlined his vision for a revitalized Ghana under an NDC government, focusing on experience, visionary leadership, job creation, social equality, and national unity.
He emphasized the transformative potential of his proposed 24-hour economy initiative, describing it as a catalyst for job creation and economic growth.
As the political climate heats up in anticipation of the elections, Mahama’s unwavering stance against corruption and his vision for a prosperous Ghana have set the stage for a fiercely contested battle for the country’s leadership.
