The former Central Regional Minister Kwamena Dunkan says former President John Mahama in some jurisdiction would have been cooling off in jail by now.
Mr. Dunkan alleged that the corruption scandals Mr Mahama was neck-deep in including his appointees do not give him and anyone of his bad government the moral right to criticize President Nana Akufo-Addo.
His comments come at the back of some criticism former President John Mahama made during his recent Thank You tour in the five northern regions.
Mr. Mahama said, “the NPP has no intention of fighting corruption, and so the only way they can be made to account to the people of Ghana is for them to leave office so that the new government will come and audit them and show where they have gone wrong.
“Otherwise, all the money they have stolen, they will just walk away with it. If you participate in politics or are a participant in public service, one of the first things you must be willing to do is to be accountable to the people.”
But Mr. Dunkan and his colleagues in the NPP say the former President should have accounted to the people of Ghana regarding some allegations of corruption he was involved in during his tenure.
Mentioning the Airbus bribery scandal (GOG 1) and the allegations of kickbacks received by the former President, in addition to some other corrupt practices during his era, Mr. Dunkan was livid to hear Mr. Mahama rather talking about accountability.
“President Mahama today has the guts to talk about corruption. If it was elsewhere, President Mahama indeed should be doing some time in the jail,” he emphasised.
