Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, the national chairman of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), has reiterated the government’s resolve to hold former administration officials responsible for alleged corruption.
His comments highlight the NDC government’s steadfast commitment to accountability, which was a major campaign pledge ahead of the 2024 elections.
Mr. Asiedu Nketiah stated in a social media video seen by Citinewsroom on Sunday, February 16, that former Akufo-Addo administration officials, including former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta, will not avoid investigations.
“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 asserted.
He further emphasized that the government will enforce strict accountability measures, even within its own ranks, ensuring that no official—past or present—escapes justice if found guilty of corruption.
“We will tighten the noose on accountability, and even elements within this government who engage in corrupt activities will not go scot-free,” he added.
Since 2,417 complaints of suspected corruption have already been sent to the Attorney General for examination, critics are eager to see how the NDC government fulfills its pledges of accountability and anti-corruption enforcement.
At the Jubilee House, the president was formally given the complaints, which were collected from the public in response to the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) request for the public to report suspected corruption cases.
