The Member of Parliament for Korle Klottey, Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings, has maintained the NDC’s commitment to holding public officials implicated in corruption accountable.

Addressing a large gathering of the rank and file of the NDC during the party’s campaign launch in Tamale, Zanetor reaffirmed that the next NDC administration will establish a high standard of zero tolerance for corruption.

The lawmaker charged party members to emulate and uphold the principles of accountability in order to effectively prosecute others.

“Do you know that the biggest threat to our democracy is corruption? It is not what we are seeing happening around us in other countries, it is corruption. And this is corruption has been presided over by this NPP government. But today, what we have to do is to promise one another and to promise John Mahama that we will set the bar high when it comes to zero tolerance with respect to corruption.”

She added “…The pellets of good governance include accountability, transparency, probity, integrity but all of this starts with us. When we come to power, we must uphold these principles and guard them dearly if we are to protect this republic of ours. Are we going to make sure that we put an end to the blatant corruption that we are seeing in Ghana? Then we must vote for the NDC.”
