The running mate to former President John Dramani Mahama, Professor Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang has revealed that corrupt officials of the Akufo-Addo administration will be held accountable by the next National Democratic Congress (NDC) government.
Professor Opoku-Agyeman said this while delivering her acceptance speech at her official outdooring at the University of Professional Studies, Accra (UPSA) auditorium in Accra on Monday, April 24 by the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
She revealed that it is our duty to ensure that our sources of wealth are not given away to obscure entities shrouded in opaque deals.
“The condescending sees this as a sign of not having original ideas. The unpretentious see it as a sign of understanding the foundations of democracy, which is consensus building, the clearest signpost to sustainable peace. I see it as a sign of strength, and I feel privileged to work with him.”
“It has already been demonstrated to us how, without such a foundation, the Ghana Without Aid has turned to Ghana Without Compass.
“The choice is clear; let’s make it on December 7 this year. Corruption is rampant in too many government and non government institutions; sadly, those institutions meant to check on corruption have been significantly weakened. We must strengthen the institutions and we will do just that when the NDC comes to power from January 2025, God willing.
“It is our duty to ensure that our sources of wealth are not given away to obscure entities shrouded in opaque deals. We must not arrive at a destination where our national assets and natural resources are treated by some as if they were assets of their own creation, to be willed forever to relatives and friends.
“We must be passionate about justice, about the protection of our environment, about protecting our differently abled citizens. We must be passionate about institutions that are responsive to our collective needs. We must be passionate about stamping out corruption,” she explained.
