Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has issued a stern warning to all public officials: corruption will no longer be tolerated, regardless of political affiliation or rank.
Speaking amid mounting investigations and high-profile arrests, Nketiah affirmed the NDC government’s commitment to a sweeping accountability campaign.
“Wherever Ken Ofori-Atta is hiding, we’ll find him. Every crime they have committed, they must answer for it.”
He stressed that the crackdown is not partisan.
“A criminal is a criminal, whether NPP, NDC or otherwise,” he said, adding that even appointees from his own party will face prosecution if found guilty.
The warning follows more than 2,400 complaints of suspected corruption submitted to the Attorney General under the NDC-led “Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL).” Nketiah was clear:
“We will tighten the noose on accountability.”
He also called for reforms to strengthen anti-graft institutions, urging the Constitutional Review Committee to separate the roles of Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, arguing that the current dual role “creates a conflict of interest” and weakens prosecution efforts.
On the ongoing arrests and investigations, Nketiah declared: “As for the arrests, we have only just begun.”
He reiterated that the government’s anti-corruption agenda is intensifying, and no official, past or present, will be spared if implicated.
