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.

Ex-president Mahama, isn't your accusations of president Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo supervising high-level of corruption, a case of the pot calling the kettle black? I am only asking.
It is convenient for Mahama to accuse NPP of corruption but he has failed to appreciate the embarrassment he caused to the country when he showed a funeral procession to the diplomatic corp thinking it was the AWW by-elections. He needs to examine himself by asking questions concerning the high level corruption that was in his government and the ***barred word*** ministers who depleted coffers of the national kitty
IT IS ONLY IN AFRICA OLD PEOPLE DON,T NEED CORRECTION AND FOOLING TO PURSUE DESTRUCTION JUST TO tell people to BELIEVE that THE WORLD IS FAT.I FEEL ASHAMED OF MY SELF AS A GHANAIAN TO HEAR JDM USING BORROWED PLATFORM TELLING GHANAIANS ANANSE STORIES.NOW GHANAIANS ARE WISE ENOUGH THAT OUR NORTHERN ,UPPER AND VOLTA REGIONS WERE LEFT BEHIND WITHOUT DEVELOPEMENT DURING YOUR BOOT FOR BOOT ADMINISRATION.PLEASE DON,t LET PEOPLE INSULT YOU,AFTER ALL YOU ARE A STATEMAN AND STOP TELLING LIES HERE AND HERE.SALUTE
Mahama, still the most corrupt and incompetent president in the history of mother Ghana. You power drank former president. With all Allah has done for you as a politician, you are being ungratefuland wanted more just like Oliver Twist.I ask Allah to help Ghanaians to reject you. I hope by the grace of Allah, you will be rejected because we shall not give you the chance to come and loot all our resources. May Allah bless our home land Ghana and make us great and strong to be able to boldly reject this incompetent and ***barred word***. Ameen.
Mahama you have been a president before so you are aware of the mechanism in dealing with corruption right? why do you want the citizens to talk for you? Go to the S.P. CID, and other organs that deal with them and report for to investigation with your evidence and stop your cheap political journey you are tracking. Please just be aware that Ghanaians are tired with your power drunk attitude. Find something good to do in order to help your people in the North.
Simple, because you have both failed the citizenry. What do you want us to do? do you want us to go and jump into the sea? Shame on you all.
ediot if you have seen any corruption with an evidence as a supposed good citizen what you do is to give it to the special prosecutor after all he is one of you (ndc). this guy is the most dishonest former president I have ever seen in ghana, at least I know he was a ''connection'' man at the Japanese embassy in the 80's and 90's john azaaa mahama
It's good we now know the kind of person Ghanaians voted for in 2012.
This is man is a corruption strategist,he is aware of the special prosecutor readiness to prosecute his appointees so he just want to tag the government with corruption.Please Mr former president if you have evidence go to the special prosecutor with your evidence.
Mr corruption man . what are you saying?
