The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr Hackman Owusu Agyeman, has warned all those who used their political positions to loot the nation\'s coffers under the former administration that they would be made to account for them.

He stressed that the Kufuor administration would ensure that probity, accountability and transparency in governance would not be \"mere slogans but would be implemented to the letter during its tenure of office\".

Mr. Owusu Agyeman, who is the MP for New Juaben North, was addressing New Patriotic Party (NPP) victory rallies at Effiduase, Asokore, Oyoko, Akwadum, Jumapo and Suhyen on Saturday.

He thanked the people for voting massively for the party to clinch victory in last December\'s elections, and pledged government\'s determination to strive to bring their desire for \'positive change\' into reality during its four-year tenure of office.

Mr. Owusu Agyeman assured the people that, in spite of the national debt of 41 trillion cedis inherited by the Kufuor administration, it would pursue its development programme and support all firms and entrepreneurs to improve production without discrimination.

He told the people that, by voting for the NPP, they had removed the \"fear mentality\" brought about by the NDC administration and replaced it with \"genuine freedom and the rule of law\", and urged them to pray for and bear with the government to enable it to deliver on its manifesto.

The NPP Constituency Chairman, Nana Agyei Boateng, urged the people to be steadfast in their support for the government while it takes time to provide sustainable solutions to the problems confronting the nation.
