Notice to Ghana’s Corrupt Officials

There seems to be a sense of anticipation around the upcoming accountability in Ghanaian politics. There may be some difficult questions for Addo Danquah Akuffo Addo and his appointees after January 7. This may have something to do with John Dramani Mahama’s election pledges, which include his commitment to bring charges against dishonest government officials should he win.

Buzz has also been created by investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas’s attendance at the ORAL Meeting. Given his reputation for exposing corruption, Anas’s presence may portend that some well-known people would soon face consequences. Anas’ embrace of Hon. Okudzeto Ablakwa conveys a sense of unity and a shared dedication to openness.

It’s important to note that Mahama has made it clear that he will tackle corruption regardless of political affiliation. He has declared that if his own appointees are discovered to be corrupt, he will pursue them ¹. This position has probably added to the feeling of expectation and eagerness surrounding the next developments.
