Spokesperson for National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer John Dramani Mahama, Joyce Bawah Mogtari, has strongly asserted that Mahama is incorruptible. This declaration follows a recent publication by The Daily Dispatch, owned by Ben Ephson, alleging that appointees in Mahama’s previous administration spent over $8 million on luxury properties in Dubai.
In a statement released on Tuesday, June 25, Bawah Mogtari criticized Ben Ephson for attempting to tarnish former President Mahama’s reputation. She accused Ephson of ignoring widespread corruption in the current Akufo-Addo administration and attempting to divert attention from state capture issues.
“The recent NPP syndicated story, deviously using Mahama’s name as a distraction, is just another ploy to divert attention from the alarming state capture that is unfolding under this administration. The looting of state lands and properties has reached unprecedented levels and has been a topic of discussion in the past few weeks. This syndicated story is, therefore, just another diversion to distract the public’s attention.”
Bawah Mogtari declared that the false accusations by Ben Ephson and the New Patriotic Party cannot damage Mahama’s reputation.
“No amount of loose and imagined associations from Ben Ephson and his NPP friends can overturn this immutable fact that Mahama stands vindicated from all their mudslinging.”
The spokesperson reaffirmed that Mahama is prepared to reclaim the presidency and implement a comprehensive economic revitalization plan for Ghana. Additionally, she promised that Mahama will ensure accountability and transparency by investigating and prosecuting corrupt officials within the current NPP administration.
“Rest assured, Mr. Mahama will reclaim the presidency to revitalize Ghana’s economy and hold corrupt NPP officials accountable.”
