The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, has declared the party’s commitment to holding officials of the previous New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration accountable for alleged corruption.
Speaking in Somanya, Eastern Region, Asiedu Nketia stated that the NDC government will actively seek accountability from current government appointees and officials of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP).
He emphasised that the NDC will investigate and prosecute corrupt officials from the previous administration. “If you are a thief or a criminal, the alternative should indeed be scary. Under our government, no corrupt individual will go unpunished,” Asiedu Nketia remarked.
His comment comes after the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) officially declared the former Finance Minister a fugitive in connection with ongoing corruption investigations.
Asiedu Nketia assured the public that the NDC government would uphold accountability and openness to curb corruption in the public sector and safeguard the rights and interests of Ghanaians.
He said, “Wherever Ken Ofori-Atta is hiding, we will find him by all means. He must avail himself for questioning on multiple cases.
All former officials implicated in corruption will be compelled to face the law.”
He added that the government would impose strict accountability measures, ensuring that no official, past or present, found guilty of corruption escapes justice.
“We will tighten the noose on accountability, and even elements within this government who engage in corrupt activities will not go scot-free,” he affirmed.
