By NDC Flagbearer John Dramani Mahama has pledged that the next NDC government will emerge victorious in the battle against corruption in the country.
He argues that this scourge is debilitating Ghana’s economy and demands urgent action.
During an interaction with the Christian Ecumenical Council on Monday, May 20, Mr. Mahama emphasized that his upcoming administration will implement measures to combat and overcome corruption.
“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 the contractor received $12 million without completing any work whatsoever. There are numerous similar cases I could mention.
“I make a firm promise that the administration that I will lead will fight the canker of corruption and defeat it.”
