Impeach President Mahama - NDP Guru

Outspoken NDP member, Ernest Owusu Bempah has conspicuously called on lawmakers in the country to impeach President John Dramani Mahama.

According to Owusu Bempah, the President has extremely tainted his hands with corruption and other unseemly practices, and so demands to be sanctioned.

Speaking to Peacefmonline.com, he did not mince words as he called for the arrest of President Mahama as a matter of principle.

Linking his point to the recent arrest of Dr. Samuel Tobin of Tobinco Pharmaceuticals Limited, Owusu Bempah stated categorically that such prompt action by the Security agencies should equally be extended to the Presidency.

To him, President Mahama has cost the nation whopping sums of money adding that he (President Mahama) swore an oath to protect the State coffers and the breach by him calls for his arrest.

“...the President should even be arrested; the President of the Republic of Ghana, John Mahama…The President’s hand is tainted with corruption and should be arrested by now…and investigated by law...

“This is a President who has sworn allegiance to protect the public purse and swore as enshrined in the constitution that if anything the President does is against the sovereignty of this country, he should be dealt with or he should be impeached or he should be investigated. It’s clear; you don’t need a soothsayer to tell us that.”
