  You are honest and have your country at heart. There is nothing stopping Mahama from doing that and he could add Kuffour in the equation if he is willing to volunteer as Rawlings. This will not suggest witch hunting but serious business to remove corruption or reduce it drastically. Those found guilty, should be made to pay back with interest that shall reflect as if they had borrowed the money from the government and ban from public office 8 years after the last peswa paid with a corruption charge that will compensate for the cost of investigation.

  These two, JJ and MA are trusted guys and are more than capable of sorting out corruption in Ghana. This is a very good suggestion and Mahama will need to heed this call or he will surely go down. At this stage, it will be foolhardy to think that those around Mahama have any answers to countering corruption in the country. They may have to get on with their roles but when it comes to corruption, only JJ and MA can be trusted to deliver. The ball is in Mahama's court and only NDC guys like me will offer this true advice to lovely Mahama. Act now or you will soon be unable to swim against this unwholesome and cancerous tide of corruption which has engulfed every facet of life in Ghana. It is one thing telling people to look forward to better days to come and a completely different situation raising taxes and tariffs amid wild, visible and incessant corruption. The economy may take some time to fix but just giving this explanation to needy hard working civil servants is insufficient hence hardly acceptable. If there is a brutishly proactive stance against corruption in the country; and if this is seen by Ghanaians to be heartfelt and genuine, they will heartily back off from strikes and civil actions to support the government to realise this journey to Canaan. For this to happen though, the right men, JJ and MA should be drafted in as soon as possible. A word to the President….from a concerned NDC chap.

  J. J will clean the corruption in a democracy. He will be accountable to the people of Ghana and the NDC party. We support this move to get rid of or reduce this heinous crime drastically.
