The National Democratic Congress (NDC) says it will investigate what it describes as "scandals" under President Akufo-Addo’s administration, promising to hold those responsible accountable and recover misappropriated funds.

At a press briefing on Tuesday [September 3] on the NDC manifesto, the Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, said the party’s anti-corruption strategy will be revisiting major controversies such as the COVID-19 expenditure, the Agyapa deal, and other high-profile cases.

Ablakwa emphasised that the NDC plans to launch comprehensive inquiries into what it describes as "the corrupt Akufo-Addo/Bawumia/NPP government."

 He mentioned specific cases like the PDS, Sky Train, and Pwalugu Dam issues among others.

The party also intends to investigate the alleged illegal acquisition of state lands by government officials, promising to establish a National Assets Register to safeguard public properties.

“We will launch inquiries into the numerous scandals that have rocked the nation under the corrupt Akufo-Addo/Bawumia/NPP government. These inquiries shall include investigations into Ghana’s COVID-19 management and expenditures and the SML, ‘Agyapa’, Maths Sets, PDS, Sky Train, Pwalugu Dam, ‘Appearance Fees’, Ambulance Spare Parts scandals, illegal sole-sourced contracts scandals, among others,” he stated.

“State capture and looted lands will be investigated as well across the country”, he added
