Former President Mahama has challenged the Akufo Addo Administration to arrest him and his wife, Lordina Mahama, if the government believes they were in any way involved in the DKM scandal.
John Mahama said he and his wife were vilified by the NPP during the 2016 electioneering period and wondered why its members had suddenly gone quiet over the matter after winning the election.
Thousands of customers of DKM Microfinance Company lost their investments, running into millions of cedis, after the owners of the company invested in unapproved ventures and lost their funds.
The Bank of Ghana subsequently confiscated the assets of the company and appointed the Registrar General’s Department to commence the liquidation process to refund customers of the company in 2016. While some of the customers are yet to receive any pesewa from the official liquidator, others have complained that the amount of money they have been given is not a representation of their investments.
Speaking at the NDC’s Unity Walk in Techiman in the Brong Ahafo Region Region on Saturday, the former President said the government’s silence on claims that he owned the company had vindicated him.
“When the DKM issue came up, the NPP accused my wife and I of owning that company. So they said when they come into power, they will retrieve the money from us and give it back to those it was taken from. By God’s grace today, they are in now power. I challenge them to investigate the ownership of DKM. If DKM is owned by my wife and me, arrest us but they are now very quiet.”
“For lies, if you tell one, you have to keep telling lies to save yourself. It is said that you can lie to win power but you can’t govern a nation with lies,” he added.
I’ll investigate DKM – Akufo-Addo
President Akufo-Addo while campaigning ahead of the December general elections promised to investigate the DKM scandal if he gets the nod.
“I will investigate government’s inability to pay the monies owed as well as investigate the DKM scandal and to ensure that there would be total restoration to all affected in both scandals,” said Nana Akufo-Addo, in November 2016 when he addressed NPP supporters in the Brong Ahafo Region.

Kojo and Adum your party will stay in opposition forever because you are fo*ls like John mahama. Where did Nana even mention John mahama's name in his campaign if he has eaten the head of a rat and the shadow is following him he should carry his cross alone to hell.When people were demonstrating against him and his wife for the scam of DKM and GOD IS LOVE was he mahama drunk and sleeping then? When those whose monies were lost and even some customers died out of the lost were screaming on radio and complaining about Lordina advising them to invest was John mahama fondling his small all girl friends at the west gate of the flagstaff house? You people are damn fo*ls that's why ndc is not attractive and that's why JJ is angry. Does John mahama think this st*pid utterance will save them? Somebody tell him to stop seeking favour from influential King and chiefs to intercede on their behalf for Nana will never spare anyone who has stolen Ghana's money. Akronfuo who join politics because of economic association just to get the chance near the national cookie jar and steal. It will take a Gonja thousand years to be president of the Republic of Ghana because of John Mahama's unrepentant ste*ling and has no shame. The 6 regions are ever prepared to knock ndc down to forever opposition, we can't allow you thi*ves to rule our country we must protect our resources to benefit our people. Mo besu ara awu and John mahama will continue to expose his immaturity and st*pidity to the whole world for everyone to know his birdbrains. He talks like an ndc serial caller and behave like a street child no wonder JJ doesn't like him.
Peacefm thank you so much for making me know that Prez Mahama is the liar. No where in Nana's remarks implicated Prez Mahama aand his wife. Ok Prez Mahama, what about the Embraer airplane?

Mahama is a greedy man. So all he knows is politics is very serious. This man has been a parliamentarian, came to be a vice president for 4 years, came to be the president of Ghana for 4 years. Stole all the money with his brother and wife. Is not enough for this greedy man. He still want to become a President again. Because of this someone who has defended you with his life die. And you cold not go and say good bye to him last respect, but you went for political walk. For what mahama has done everybody in Ghana now know that he is very greedy all he knows is power nothing more nothing less..
