John Mahama vows to deal with corrupt individuals if elected President

If elected President in 2024, John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer hopeful of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has promised to combat corruption.

Should Ghanaians elect him president in 2024, the former President has vowed to deal mercilessly with corruption.

Mr. Mahama told delegates in Lambussie, Upper West Region, that corrupt individuals will be punished regardless of party allegiance during the future NDC administration.

“It doesn’t matter whether you belong to our government or past governments, if you steal the people’s money we will deal with you. If elected as President, I will allow anti-corruption institutions to work. Nobody should come and call me to save them when they catch you. Any person whether in my government or outside my government or in the previous NPP government, if the anti-corruption institutions are dealing with you that is your business because we must save this country,” Mahama noted.

Meanwhile, Dr. Kwabena Duffuor, Mahama’s flagbearer rival, has appealed for the postponement of the presidential primaries, which are scheduled for Saturday, May 13, 2023.

Nevertheless, Mustapha Gbande, the NDC’s Deputy General Secretary, stated that Dr. Kwabena Duffuor’s team’s request for a postponement is not feasible.
