The flagbearer for the NDC in the 2020 elections, former President John Mahama has lashed out at his main contender in the polls, President Akufo-Addo for what he describes as “eroding the confidence Ghanaians had in politicians.”
Speaking in an interview on Accra-based TV XYZ, the former President said the failure of the current administration to fight corruption has made Ghanaians lose trust in politicians.
He said he was not surprised that unlike 2016 where the fight against corruption featured greatly in the NPP’s manifesto, the 2020 manifesto does not make mention of it.
The NDC flagbearer noted that the President who was touted as incorruptible is rather fighting individuals who have been appointed to fight corruption and that has made Ghanaians lose trust in politicians.
“This president is a lawyer and has asked the auditor general to go on leave, it means he can ask the EC boss, CHRAJ and other officers of that stature to go on leave. And if you’re on leave and the keys to your office are changed, it means there is no intention of you coming back.” He said.
