The Senior Minister Yaw Osafo Marfo has revealed that the Akufo-Addo administration will ensure that all “NDC government officials implicated in large-scale corruption scandals be brought to book”.

The Senior Minister speaking at the 25th Annual NPP’s Ashanti Regional Delegates’ Congress at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) said the NPP government led by President Nana Addo will take legal action against former government officials found to have misappropriated funds.

According to Mr. Osafo Marfo, the NPP government inherited poor economy from the Mahama-led National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration.

“We are going through papers, after that majority of the NDC party corrupt officials will be prosecuted. We don’t want to lose any case in court for accusing NDC official as corrupt therefore we are looking into some of their contracts to get concrete evidence. We inherited poor economy and debt but we will not pay majority of NDC debt because if we try to pay all the NDC debt, Nana Addo will not be able do any development,” he said.

He, therefore, urged party supporters not to give Nana Addo pressure to prosecute NDC party corrupt officials.
