According to GHOne TV, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has vowed to thoroughly investigate allegations of state asset misappropriation under the administration of former President John Dramani Mahama, if the party wins the 2028 general elections. This pledge was reiterated earlier today by former Finance Minister, Adam Amin, during a press conference held in Accra.
Speaking passionately to reporters, Amin emphasized that the NPP would not tolerate corruption and would take decisive action to recover any misappropriated state funds and assets. His statement came in response to recent reports, including a segment aired on GHOne TV, where the NPP made clear its intention to hold accountable those responsible for the alleged theft of public resources during Mahama’s tenure in office.
“President Mahama, I want you to know that if the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is elected in 2028, we will restore all funds and assets that were misappropriated or lost while you were in office. We must not stand by and let corruption flourish in this nation that is rightfully ours,” Amin said.
The former Finance Minister went on to accuse the Mahama administration of widespread financial mismanagement, highlighting newly uncovered claims of missing funds, dubious government contracts, and the questionable sale of state lands. “We have witnessed the sale of government properties to friends and family, the inflating of contracts, and the diversion of taxpayer funds for private benefit. The Ghanaian people deserve better. Those responsible will face justice,” Amin vowed.
These remarks come as a response to comments made by Mahama, who has pledged to reclaim state resources he claims were lost under the current NPP administration should he be re-elected in 2024. Amin, however, dismissed Mahama’s statements as hypocritical, pointing to scandals during Mahama’s time in office, including the AMERI deal, the SADA project, and the GYEEDA scandal, all of which raised questions about financial integrity.
“Where was this commitment to transparency and responsibility when President Mahama’s administration awarded contracts to relatives and friends? Ghanaians have not forgotten,” Amin said, urging the public to look back on the record of the previous administration when assessing future political promises.
