Akufo-Addo now a scandal ‘clearing’ agent – John Mahama

Former President Mahama has challenged the current administration to investigate scandals involving its officials and prosecute any one found culpable.

According to the former President, most of the allegations leveled against his (Mahama) administration were false and that the they did not have the leisure to debunk them since they were busy working.

“I was said to have owned a hotel in Dubai, I was said to have ships in Tokyo Harbour. They said my wife diverted GHS100m to Swiss bank accounts. DKM they said belong to myself and my wife… a lot of things”, he said

He, however, noted that unlike his administration, the current NPP government is noted for scandals and in a short space of two years, “there have been scandals upon scandals and the President himself has become a clearing house for his appointees”.

He accused the president of clearing his appointees whenever they fall short or anything happens.

Citing the visa deal in Australia, where about 65 Ghanaians were transported and issued visas as journalists to cover the Games being held at Gold Coast in Australia, Mahama stated that the matter has been swept under the carpet as usual.

This visa scandal led to the suspension of the deputy minister for youth and sports, Pius Henam Hadzide. He was however exonerated and reinstated from any complicity in the visa fraud after investigations.
