President John Dramani Mahama has urged all his ex-appointees to prepare themselves for prosecution by the Akufo-Addo government.
According to him, members of his administration and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) party, will subject themselves to any investigations conducted by the current government that relates to their tenure in office.
Mr Mahama’s administration was accused to have engaged in several corrupt acts, some of which were branded as GYEEDA, SADA, Subah and Bus Branding rots.
Already, the immediate-past Director-General of the National Communications Authority (NCA), Mr William Tevie, along with four other former big shots of the frequency regulating body, has been charged with wilfully causing financial loss to the state.
The others include former Board Chairman Eugene Baffoe-Bonnie, ex-board member Nana Owusu-Ensaw, ex-deputy National Security Coordinator Alhaji Salifu Osman and private businessman George Oppong.
Mr Mahama, while speaking at the 31st December Revolution Anniversary held at Ho in the Volta Region, said: “Recently, President Akufo-Addo was threatening members of our administration with prosecution when he visited the Eastern Region. And I said ‘yes, we are prepared to accept the probity of our tenure in office’.
“Having been the disciples of probity and accountability, we must not run away from probity and accountability, we must be prepared to face any prosecution that this government throws to us, but we must do this with commitment and solidarity. Solidarity with our colleagues who will fall foul of the law because the law says you are innocent until proven guilty by a competent court of jurisdiction, and, so, we cannot pronounce our colleagues guilty on the basis of allegations by the NPP.
“They will have their day in court and until they have that day in court, it is our duty to solidarise with them to make sure they have the best legal representation to be able to put their case in order, and it is my wish that things will turn out well for them.”

Frankly; don't everybody want to shoot this guy dead!!!!! if we all had guns ; how can you say that NDC party members should start solidarising when the criminal knows his NDC ministers including himself looted so much cash abd bought properties and invested abroad ; how can a teacher like Kofi Adams with short association with JJ Rawlings and secretary of NDC suddenly come own a house ; bought 6 v8 cars bought a flat in Dubai and Jon Mahama says people shod start supporting them ; don't you feel like shooting this northner criminal .

Sometimes I wish I could could own a gun and shoot this man.seeing you and listening to you makes me wanna explode...incompetent mammal and a corrupt man !!!
John Ford Mahama the incompetent greedy th ief is now scared of prosecution.... A lot of your appointees are in trouble... Dzifa Aku Attivor of bus branding fame is number one.
Afraid man. You have started shivering already. It's true they say an old lady is always an uneasy when dry bones are mentioned in a dream.If your hands are clean why do you seek solidarity.As if when those people were chopping they remembered the people you want to solidarise with you. Go down alone.
Preparing people mind.to say it’s Cow instead of Goat
Mr John mahama this shows your weakness not strength. Were you aware you brother issued dud checks to custom officers to clear his heavy duty machines from the port? Were there evidence for the retrieval of those monies or not? The same way your people will be prosecuted with evidence not mouth mouth. In any case! Was your wife the supplier of fertilizers for the farmers which never went but monies collected? Wait a minute! You are not the right person to talk about corruption because you are the corruption in chief and if your ndc have any evidence to prove some people have misused Ghana's resources in this government tell them to go to court rather than the 316 press conferences in a year, every other day press conference what is wrong with you people, opposition is unbearable for you but you will stay there for long because your 4 regions can't give you power. Enjoy your opposition in Onaapo noise making. Happy New Year
