Former President John Dramani Mahama who lost the 2016 general elections due to huge corruption-related scandals under his administration is now weeping over corruption tag hanging around his neck.
This follows a report by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP), one of the largest investigative journalism organizations in the world, that some members of the erstwhile Mahama administration acquired properties worth $8,409,400 in Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), under suspicious circumstances.
The former President’s aide accused Mr Ephson of deliberately ignoring the alleged pervasive corruption in the current Akufo-Addo administration while trying to divert attention from the pressing issue of state capture.
She said the story was a “syndicated” effort to distract the public and malign Mahama’s reputation, adding that “The recent NPP syndicated story, deviously using Mahama’s name as a distraction, is just another ploy to divert attention from the alarming state capture that is unfolding under this administration.
“The looting of state lands and properties has reached unprecedented levels and has been a topic of discussion in the past few weeks. This syndicated story is, therefore, just another diversion to distract the public’s attention.”
Joyce Bawah Mogtari lamented that the false accusations peddled by Ben Ephson and the New Patriotic Party cannot tarnish the reputation of John Dramani Mahama, who has been vindicated from their relentless smear campaigns
“No amount of loose and imagined associations from Ben Ephson and his NPP friends can overturn this immutable fact that Mahama stands vindicated from all their mudslinging.”
She reaffirmed that the former President is poised to reclaim the presidency and implement a comprehensive economic revitalization plan for Ghana.
Additionally, she vowed that Mahama will ensure accountability and transparency by investigating and prosecuting corrupt officials within the current NPP administration, who have been accused of malfeasance and mismanagement.
