The National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, has sent a strong signal that the current wave of arrests related to alleged corruption and embezzlement is just the beginning of a broader campaign to hold former government officials accountable.

Addressing a durbar of chiefs and people in the Atewa East Constituency as part of the phase two of his Thank You Tour of the Eastern Region on Thursday September 25, he disclosed that several former government appointees will be arrested for their alleged roles in the misuse and misappropriation of public funds.

“As for the arrests, we have only just begun — we haven’t gotten far yet,” he stated. “Anyone who has taken advantage of the country’s resources or embezzled state funds must be held accountable.”

Mr. Nketiah further appealed to traditional authorities, the clergy, and Muslim leaders to support the government’s renewed effort to confront corruption and restore public trust in national leadership.

“We call on traditional leaders, imams, and clergy to support us, because we believe what we are doing will help heal Ghana and preserve what Dr. Bawumia himself admits was damaged, so that Ghana can remain strong,” he said.
