Flagbearer of the opposition NDC, John Dramani Mahama has issued a warning to his counterparts in the NPP to be ready to refund any monies they illegally accrued in the infamous Agyapa deal as soon as he and the NDC is declared to have won the 2020 elections.
According to him, the NDC government will be compelled to implement recommendations made by the Office of the Special Prosecutor on the deal if those who benefited fail to return the monies back to the state.
He explained that the Ghana Gold Company that his previous administration wanted to use to monetize the country’s gold royalties was 100 percent owned by Ghanaians.
Mr. Mahama claims that the Agyapa deal was intentionally shrouded in secrecy in order to deceive Ghanaians.
“If I become president and by the will of God, I will become president, I will not respect that agreement. They should bring that agreement back and hold a meeting with civil society organizations, the chiefs, and all the stakeholders to whom that gold royalties belong and let us achieve consensus on how we want to monetize our gold royalties and every penny that has gone underhand will be retrieved. I assure you. So they (government officials) should return those monies.” He said.
Mr. Mahama made this comment at the Bosomkyekye community within the Mampong constituency of the Ashanti Region on Saturday, November 21, 2020.
