The former President said the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer does not have the political will, cannot investigate and prosecute party members.

Mr Mahama said this while reiterating plans to deal decisively with corruption and recover all looted state assets from political appointees in the ruling regime.

He emphasised the establishment of the “Operation-Recover-All-Loot” (ORAL) through which the fight against corruption will extend to politically exposed persons and all serving public officials.

Mr Mahama said he believes in holding public office holders accountable but the ruling government does not have the courage to do same.

Addressing electorates in Sissala East as part of his Upper West campaign tour, he called on Ghanaians to vote out the NPP for proper accountability.

He stated that Ghana is sinking, hence the NDC must win to reposition the country back on track.

He added that, re-electing the NPP is just like rewarding mismanagement and thievery.

“The reason they are desperate to have Bawumia to replace Akufo-Addo in the presidency is that they want him to cover their backs. There is no way Bawumia can prosecute Akufo-Addo, Ken Ofori-Atta or any of the leading members in the NPP. It is only the NDC that can investigate all those who have stolen our money.

“So for Ghanaians to have accountability, the NPP must leave power that is why the NDC has launched the operation recover all the loot if you have stolen Ghanaians’ money, you can be sure when John Mahama is elected president, we will come after you and retrieve all the monies for Ghana,” he said.

Speaking at the NDC’s ‘Moment of Truth series’  on August 8, Sammy GyamfI noted that the NPP flagbearer is “neck deep in the rampant corruption and nepotism that has engulfed this nation-wrecking NPP government.”

“Alhaji Bawumia has proven time and again that he is a chronic liar and therefore cannot be trusted. It is clear from the foregoing facts, that Bawumia is one of the key architects of the ongoing state capture and corruption that is destroying our nation,” he claimed.

This he attributed to Dr Bawumia awarding five different contracts to his brother, Abraham Bawumia, at a highly inflated commutative price of GH₵ 218 million through sole sourcing.

In light of these allegations, Mr Gyamfi noted that the NPP flagbearer cannot therefore be trusted to fight the canker of corruption, as he is an integral part of the free-for-all grabbing of state resources and the unprecedented state capture.

“It therefore goes without saying, that a vote for Alhaji Bawumia is a vote to cover up the corrupt deeds of this nation-wrecking NPP government and shield wrongdoers including Bawumia and his corrupt mentor, Akufo-Addo, from accountability,” he added.

He used the medium to call on Ghanaians to vote for the NDC for a change that will ensure genuine accountability and justice.

“As you may be aware, H.E. John Dramani Mahama has promised that when elected, he will confront the canker of corruption head-on, by ensuring that the sword of accountability cuts both ways. He has promised to hold members of this corrupt Akufo-Addo/Bawumia/NPP government accountable for all their corrupt acts.

“Fellow countrymen and women, you can be rest assured, that under the next NDC/Mahama government these sleazy, illegal and inflated sole sourced contracts will be investigated and the “agyapadie” thieves prosecuted,”’ he assured.
