Former President of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama has assured the people of Ghana of his intentions to fight corruption if given power in the 2024 elections.
He has said that if given power, he will set up an Independent value-for-money office to scrutinise all gov’t procurements above $5 million threshold.
“If we want to eliminate corruption, we must increase accountability in government
procurement processes. Accountability gives power back to the people. God willing, as the
incoming president and leader, I assure the people of Ghana that the NDC is fully committed to accountability.
This is why one of our key policies will be to set up an independent value-for-money office to
scrutinise all government procurements above a $5 million threshold or as shall be
recommended by Parliament.
Transparency and accountability are the keys to fighting corruption. We will fight corruption by creating an office that will dynamically scrutinise all government procurements. Coupled with a lean government of no more than 60 ministers and deputy ministers, I guarantee you that we will win this fight,” he said.
