Former President John Mahama has expressed worry over the citizenry remaining silent in the midst of high-level unprecedented corruption practiced under the government.
“Our nation is drenched in massive and unprecedented corruption under the direct supervision of our President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, cronyism and nepotism have become the government’s policy and is manifesting in a family and friends government we are all witnessing,” he lamented.
This was contained in a speech read on his behalf by Joyce Mogtari Bawa at the National Cadres Conference in Koforidua.
The event, held on the theme: ‘Re-tracing the spirit of probity and accountability- The role of cadres’, brought together the cadres of the party to among others, take stock of their activities and how they could contribute to the party’s efforts to instill the spirit of probity and accountability in the country.
It was organised by the NDC with support from the Fredrich Ebert Stiftung, a non-profit institution.
“This conference is being held at a time where many acts of corruption being complained about have been largely cleared and mostly go uninvestigated, unfortunately, society has remained silent, there is very little being said about all of the ills that we are currently grappling with, the current government has become a clearinghouse for corruption because of the allegations of malfeasance that it has cleared,” the former president bemoaned.
Former President Mahama called on the cadres of the party to help adopt and implement strategic interventions that would instill probity and accountability stressing that “as cadres of the June 4, 1979, uprising and the December 31, 1981 revolution, you represent the spirit of probity and accountability in all facets of national life”.
He urged the cadres of the party to take a dispassionate assessment of the various challenges facing the country in order to determine the additional inventions to be adopted and implemented by the NDC to entrench the culture of selfless service.
Former President Mahama noted that his government performed better in the fight against corruption than the Akufo-Addo-led government and assured that the next government of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) in 2021 would offer the citizenry better governance than what the Akufo-Addo-led administration had been delivering.

in some countries you cannot become president if you have children outside your marriage, you are always cheating on your wife, and have girlfriends. A christian country like Ghana have allowed dishonest and disgraceful people to become presidents. Is it any surprising we are not blessed ?
I dont like this man face can you journalist stop posting this image so i dont become a sinner ? This is the face that tells the downside if our country and its not pleasant. please stop publishing stories about him.
And look at his face like that of a ***barred word***. nobody want to hear anything from you.it is a pity Ghanaians have been deceived if NPP have maintained power in 2008. you will be shocked where Ghana will betoday. NDc will do everything to make npp look bad but when they come all they do is run down the country. Everybody in Ghana knows that all things being equal NPP is far better in policy that favors the people and and are better in governance yet we have sat down for such ***barred word*** faces to lie to us decieve us for thier perosnal . it is about time you put aside your tribal and ethnocentric feelings and let the right people do the job. It is not a joking matter for you to say whatever you want to win favor of people. we are talking about peoples lives and livelihood.
Wopana we shan't say fooko. The corru-ption record you set before leaving office is unprecendented, gangantuan and an unbreakable record. why waste time on minnows when the obgontia is still reigningin grand style. you virtually have shut our moofs with the high level corru-ption we saw during your tenure. we have nothing more to say
THE MOST CORRUPT BOY IN THE WHOLLLLLLEEEEE UNIVERSE....mahama
I DON'T BLAME MAHAMA. IF AKUFFO ADDO HAS KEPT HIS WORD AND PROSECUTED ALL THE CORRUPTION ALLEGATIONS AGAINST MAHAMA'S GOVERNMENT, HE WOULDN'T HAVE HAD THE COURAGE TO COME AND ACCUSE THE GOVERNMENT OF CORRUPTION. FELLOW GHANAIAN'S LETS BE WEARY OF THESE SO CALLED POLITICIANS.THEY ACCUSE EACH OTHER OF CORRUPTION WITHOUT SUBSTANTIAL PROOF JUST TO GAIN VOTES AND NOTHING MORE.AFTER ALL THE CORRUPTION ALLEGATIONS LEVELED AGAINST MAHAMA, ITS ALMOST THREE YEARS NOW AND NOT A SINGLE PROSECUTION.THIS LET BE BELIEVE THAT THERE WAS NO CORRUPTION AFTER ALL DURING NDC RULE.
After you lose the 2020 election you will know that your title as former president is gone. If you dont have anything to say just keep quiet. Why are u not commenting on the dumsor noise your cronies are making? You have no moral right. Masa go and sleep
Very funny for this to come from a former president. If Ghanaians are Silent and not talking it means they don't see it!!! If you have seen corruption with evidence Mr Former President, let's know. You don't churn out propaganda and expect Ghanaians to pick it up and waste our time talking about it.
See who is talking. Who is more corrupt than you Mahama? Thieffffff
Whatever John Mahama has left at the Jubilee house, someone should tell him it is too late to go for it. He is confirming how 1di0tic he is. Ghanaians are just fed up with this m0ron who unfortunately got that opportunity to be president. Such impudence!
