Spokesperson for the National Democratic Congress (NDC) flagbearer John Dramani Mahama, has said her boss is incorruptible.
Mrs Joyce Bawah Mogtari’s statement follows a report by The Daily Dispatch, owned by Ben Ephson, which alleged that appointees from Mahama’s previous administration spent over $8 million on luxury properties in Dubai.
In her statement released on Tuesday, June 25, she criticized Ben Ephson for attempting to tarnish former President Mahama’s reputation.
Mrs. Mogtari accused Mr. Ephson of deliberately ignoring widespread corruption within the current Akufo-Addo administration and attempting to divert attention from the critical issue of state capture.
She condemned the report as part of a “syndicated” effort to distract the public and defame Mr. Mahama.
“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.”
Joyce Bawah Mogtari said the false accusations peddled by Ben Ephson and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) cannot tarnish the reputation of John Dramani Mahama, who has been vindicated from their relentless smear campaigns
“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 for Mr Mahama reaffirmed that the former President is poised to reclaim the presidency and implement a comprehensive economic revitalisation plan for Ghana.
Additionally, she vowed that Mahama will ensure accountability and transparency by investigating and prosecuting corrupt officials within the current NPP administration, who have been accused of malfeasance and mismanagement.
“Rest assured, Mr Mahama will reclaim the presidency to revitalise Ghana’s economy and hold corrupt NPP officials accountable.”
