Mustapha Gbande, Deputy Director in charge of Operations at the Presidency, has reaffirmed the National Democratic Congress’s (NDC) commitment to prosecuting officials from the previous administration who are alleged to have misappropriated state resources.
Speaking to Citi News, Gbande stated: “I know that President Mahama is committed, and the party is solidly behind him to do that which Ghanaians have brought us to do, including prosecuting those who have stolen from the nation.”
He cautioned the New Patriotic Party (NPP) that no one would be above the law, warning that even former President Akufo-Addo could face house arrest if necessary.
Gbande further stressed that the NDC would abide by the legal framework set by the NPP and advised them not to protest when the process unfolds.
He revealed that in the coming days, corruption and dubious deals hidden within ministries, departments, and agencies would be exposed.
“In the next few days, you will see ministries, departments, agencies unearthing the rots, the crook deals that have been buried from the public and the media.”
Accusing the former government of large-scale corruption, Gbande asserted that legal action would be taken against those involved, including former President Akufo-Addo.
“I can say on authority that they have stolen from the nation. President Akufo-Addo has supervised his appointees to steal from the nation. You are going to see this, and those people will be taken on by the laws of the land. Nana Akufo-Addo himself will not be spared,” he declared.
