Flag bearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Mahama says government appointees who abused the public trust by misconducting themselves will face the full rigors of the law.
Delivering his 2024 New Year message at his residence in Tamale, Mr. Mahama stated that he is passionate about the fight against corruption and uprooting poor governance.
According to him, he will ensure that the nation’s resources are used responsibly and ethically.
“I firmly believe a transparent and accountable government is essential for building trust and confidence in our institutions. We would hold to account members of this administration who have abused the public trust by misconducting themselves in office.
“But more importantly, we would also allow unfettered space for the anti-corruption agencies to deal with anyone who abuses the public trust under my administration. By strengthening anti-corruption measures, promoting good governance, and upholding the rule of law, we shall create a fairer and more equitable society where everyone can thrive,” Mr. Mahama stated.
He continued: “We will reduce the size of the government in our bid to cut down on expenditure. We will combine ministries and remove government agencies that duplicate each other. In other words, we in government will also tighten our belts.”
