Since the expected swearing-in of John Dramani Mahama as Ghana's president on January 7, 2025, prominent political analyst Kevin Taylor has warned members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) about the consequences. Taylor's passionately stated comments have provoked strong responses from people of all political persuasions.

Taylor stated that serious measures would be taken within 72 hours after Mahama's inauguration while speaking on his Loud Silence Media website. In order to recover what is rightly the state's, he threatened that young Ghanaians would take matters into their own hands because they were tired of corruption and the misappropriation of public funds.


In his statement, Taylor said:

"The corrupt officials in NPP listen carefully, this is what is going to happen 72 hours after John Mahama is sworn in on January 7th; the youths of this country will go after anyone who has stolen state money and resources. Even John Mahama cannot stop us from taking what belongs to us. So, if you know you have not stolen Ghana's money, you don't have a problem, don't panic but live your life comfortably. But if you know you have in your possession any national asset or you acquired any asset using state money illegally, then you better report yourself to the police and return the money or the asset. The young Ghanaians who paid taxes for you to misuse it will come after you."



Taylor did not mince words, citing specific individuals he accused of benefitting from state resources. He pointed fingers at Paul Adom Otchere, whom he accused of purchasing luxury cars with public funds, and Gabby Otchere-Darko, alleging that he built properties using state money.



"With the work you are doing, we will come and take your properties so you can come and defend how you got them," he continued.


Taylor's vehement remarks have escalated political tensions, with fans hailing his audacious fight against corruption and detractors accusing him of inciting. His comments highlight the mounting annoyance of many Ghanaians with the purported corruption and poor management of public servants.
