In an interview with GHOne TV, Joyce Bawah Mogtari, special assistant to former President John Dramani Mahama, discussed the continuing work of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to combat corruption and improve transparency in Ghana's political system.

In order to collect evidence, safeguard witnesses, and establish a platform for citizens to exchange information about corruption, Mogtari disclosed that the NDC has launched the Oral Witness and Records (ORAL) platform.

"This platform is part of a larger strategy to show the party's commitment to fighting corruption, especially during the transition period," she stressed.

The goal of ORAL is simple: to gather and preserve evidence, safeguard witnesses, and establish a forum for information sharing among residents, Mogtari said.

"This is a component of a more comprehensive plan to guarantee that the government shows its dedication to combating corruption throughout the transition."

The NDC's emphasis on establishing systems to encourage accountability and transparency is highlighted by her remarks.

In order to fortify Ghana's democratic processes and guarantee that corruption has no place in public service, the platform is not merely a reactive solution.

In addition, Mogtari used the occasion to discuss some of the most obvious examples of poor management under the current administration.

As she reflected on the past few years, she expressed her displeasure with the "unprecedented nepotism and corruption" that she claimed had spread over a number of industries.


“Over $60 million was spent on the National Cathedral with no tangible outcome. Similarly, $12 million was wasted on the PDS deal, resulting in the loss of the Millennium Compact for power distribution—funds that could have improved electricity access for Ghanaians,” she pointed out.
