Why Ghanaians can trust Mahama over Bawumia – Sammy Gyamfi

The National Communication Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi, has assured Ghanaians that they can trust the flagbearer of his party, John Dramani Mahama, to protect the resources of the country.

Speaking at the party’s "Moment of Truth" press conference on Wednesday, August 7, 2024, Gyamfi stated that, unlike his main contender for the upcoming 2024 presidential election, Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, the flagbearer of the New Patriotic Party, Mahama has a track record of fighting corruption.

He said that the former president, when he was in office, prosecuted and dismissed his appointees who were involved in corruption scandals.

“My brothers and sisters, John Mahama is the man with the proven track record and political will to fight corruption. As President, he demonstrated this commitment when, under very difficult circumstances, he allowed unimpeded investigations into the GYEEDA scandal, leading eventually to the conviction of an appointee of his own government and the retrieval of about GHS50 million for the State.

“As President, he ensured the investigation and retrieval of funds involved in the bus branding scandal, as well as investigations and prosecution of culprits involved in the National Service scandal, among others. So high was the standard of accountability under the erstwhile NDC/Mahama government, that a Deputy Minister who simply expressed a mere wish to make $1 million was sacked,” he said.

He added, “President Mahama is a man of impeccable and unblemished integrity. He is certainly the visionary and incorruptible leader we can trust to rescue our dear nation from the abyss and lead us to build the Ghana we all want – a Ghana where corrupt officials are punished and stolen funds are retrieved for nation-building.”
