President-elect, John Dramani Mahama, has reaffirmed his commitment to tackling corruption and reducing public sector waste as key pillars of his development agenda.
In an interview with Germany-based DW TV, Mahama outlined plans to implement bold governance reforms, strengthen anti-corruption frameworks, and enforce accountability across public institutions.
He acknowledged public frustration over the misuse of public resources, inefficiencies in governance, and the nation’s rising debt.
“Corruption and waste are major obstacles to our progress,” Mahama stated.
He emphasized his intent to introduce constitutional reforms aimed at fostering transparency and fiscal discipline.
Mahama also pledged to impose strict penalties on individuals engaged in corrupt practices.
“One of the first things we will do is revisit the constitutional review process to create a more dynamic and effective governance structure. We must fight corruption and waste at a higher level, ensuring our economic managers handle resources in a way that prevents the debt crises we’ve seen.”
The President-elect highlighted the need to align constitutional reforms with modern realities, incorporating mechanisms to promote accountability and impose meaningful consequences on those who exploit public office for personal gain.
Mahama believes these reforms will not only strengthen governance but also ensure a more efficient and responsible management of Ghana’s resources.
