Fears Grow About Mahama's Battle Against Corruption as He Gets Ready for 2025

Concerns have been raised about President-elect John Dramani Mahama's strategy for combating corruption as he gets ready to assume office in 2025, particularly in light of the participation of people with contentious backgrounds in his campaign. Alfred Woyome, a prominent figure who has raised concerns, was previously involved in a corruption controversy and forced to reimburse money after engaging in a questionable financial arrangement with the government. Many have questioned if Mahama's government will actually combat corruption or if the same individuals from the past will still hold sway over Ghana's leadership in light of Woyome's current involvement in political communications for the National Democratic Congress (NDC).

A Facebook user by the name of Kwame Amporful provoked discussion on social media by posing the following question: "Let's get some clarity for those expecting the JM-led NDC to fight corruption." Has JM ever stated that he will safeguard the public coffers? Will he actually combat corruption, and if so, will the intended outcomes be achieved? Thought leader Barnabas Nii Laryea contributed to the discussion by expressing his doubts about Mahama's anti-corruption posture, especially in light of Woyome's involvement in NDC electoral affairs. "I'm not exactly sure what to expect, but there is still some glimmer of hope," Laryea said in reference to Woyome's speech on electoral concerns for the NDC. Let's review the ministers' list and determine our course of action.

Some have urged Ghanaians to exercise patient and hold off on making judgments on Mahama's government's handling of corruption until after he is formally sworn in as president, despite the fact that many voices in the public debate have similar worries.
