Former President John Mahama has said no journalist will be persecuted or hounded and killed for exposing corruption under his presidency should he win the 2020 general elections.
In his message to mark International Anti-Corruption Day, Mr Mahama said: “I stand #unitedagainstcorruption”, adding: “Let us make a determined commitment to take action, lead the change and be the change in our country’s fight against corruption and nepotism”.
Fighting corruption, the flag bearer of the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) said, “requires genuine and collective efforts, particularly from political leaders”.
“As we have demonstrated in the past, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) will make no excuses in this fight. “Sadly, recent surveys are confirming that we are losing the fight against corruption. This is a worry to the majority of Ghanaians. “We shall protect the rights of our people to expose corruption and undertake to investigate credible allegations that come to our attention.
“No journalist will be killed, live in fear or flee the country because of their investigative reporting”, he promised. Mr Mahama also said: “We will strengthen and make the anti-corruption agencies work without fear or favour”.
In his view, “If we are to win the fight against corruption, the government must stop making excuses as a coverup for the increasing cases of corruption”.
He said: “President Akufo-Addo's practice of ‘clearing’ corrupt appointees and hampering investigations must stop”.
“As we work together toward the attainment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the anti-corruption fight will become a major instrument for the achievement of our objectives. Let us take a decisive stand against corruption and nepotism. I invite all Ghanaians to stand #unitedagainstcorruption”, he wrote on Facebook.

Listen to the chaff coming out of you. Will you seriously vote for you?I dont think so.You are not serious at all
In fact, politics is very cheap paa oo, how could you say such a thing? a journalist was killed under your tenure as president of Ghana and now you turn around to say no journalist will be killed under your watch as president, hahaha John Mahama is desperate for power paa hmmmm, I blame the despite Group of company, the journalist that was killed under Mahama's watch was your own journalist. Peace fm wise up and stop following this never-do-well JDM. #StillTheAlternativeIsScary
Oh this incompetent Mahama need prayers ooo.Empty headed leader who hasn't got any message for the Ghanaian populate.HMMMMM VERY SAD.
Stop killing the fantis in our party and forge forward to win the 2020 elections.
Instead of thinking of his manifesto and campaign policies, this is what a so-called ex-president is campaigning on? Then he is planning to consult Ghanaians (who have not been president before) to give him ideas for his manifesto? Mahama is such an embarrassment to the office of the president in Ghana.
only shows you are the ones killing and disturbing our journalist. in power you will spare them. lord have mercy on you.
Lord have mercy!! the man who represents all corruption in Ghana is talking about solving corruption issues. In his statement he said 'WE', who are the 'WE'? Is it about the Kanazoe Ford, Smartys Bus Branding, Air craft purchase from Brazil, over inflated STCs bus purchases? Is it aboout the SADA, SUBA and GYEEDA? Can Mr. John Ford Kanazoe Mahama, the incompetent in chief shut the hell up. since he left office we have had some peace and we would want to maintain that even after 2024. Good morning Ghana
Look at Mr. incompetent talking! This is cheap talk Mr. incompetent. We know who you were as vice president then president. We know you as the worst, corrupt and incompetent president ever to have ruled our beloved country Ghana. Since i am not Allah, i will say in-sha-Allah, you will never enter the presidency again. What at all do you want as a person/politician? You are such ungrateful human being because you got it all as a politician but you are still fighting to come create and loot. What else do you want? To come back to create and loot our resources again? In-sha-Allah that will never happen. May Allah grant the president Nana Addo and his able vice president Alhaji Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia good heath and long life to rule Ghana for us. Ameen.
