NDC reiterates resolve to investigate PDS, SML, Sky Train and all scandals under NPP gov’t

The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has stressed its resolve to thoroughly probe all scandals that happened under the Akufo-Addo-led government.

According to the party, this is necessary to ensure that there is accountability for every action taken by the current administration and “recover all the loots.”

At the second edition of the Sectoral Briefing on the NDC Manifesto on Tuesday, September 3, the Member of Parliament (MP) for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, said this is part of the party’s ambition to eradicate corruption.

“[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 listed.

Mr. Ablakwa further noted that “state capture and looted lands” will be investigated as well across the country. He alleged that government officials have been selling state lands among themselves at cheaper prices, denying the public any opportunity to competitively show interest in such properties.

“The NDC will set up a National Assets Register to protect all state lands and properties,” he added.

The North Tongu legislator added that the NDC would reopen investigations into major unresolved cases, including the Ayawaso West Wuogon election violence, the 2020 election-related killings, and the unresolved murders of Ahmed Hussein-Suale and Silas Wulochamey.

The sectoral briefing on the NDC manifesto is meant to outline policies the NDC intends to implement when elected into power.

It also covers plans for good governance and combating corruption.
