Kwame Baffoe, the Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), popularly known as Abronye, has made a significant reversal on his earlier corruption allegations against former President John Dramani Mahama.

Abronye had previously accused President Mahama of allegedly hoarding substantial funds intended for dismissed public sector appointees at the Jubilee House. Speaking on Accra-based Movement TV, he alleged that the Akufo-Addo administration had allocated GH₵550 million for the recruitment of certain individuals, but the funds were misappropriated following a change in government.

"The Akufo-Addo government budgeted GH₵550 million for these individuals to be employed. This money comes from taxpayers, yet another government cancels the appointments and allegedly transfers the funds to the Jubilee House. So, what are you doing with the GH₵550 million that was put in bullion vans and sent to the Jubilee House?" he asserted.

"You have revoked people's appointments, taken their GH₵550 million, and put it in a bullion van," Abronye further alleged during the broadcast.



However, in a subsequent clarification on Movement TV, Abronye stated that his remarks regarding the money being transported in a bullion van to the presidency were "merely semantics" and had been misrepresented. His clarification followed an invitation from the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) to substantiate his claims against the former president.

"My reference to the bullion van did not imply that the money was physically at the president's residence or being spent by him," he explained. Instead, he emphasized that his concern was about the whereabouts of the funds allocated for the public sector employees whose appointments had been terminated.

Abronye further noted that the GH₵550 million in question had been earmarked by the Akufo-Addo government and documented in the 2024 national budget to cater to such employment-related expenditures.

His retraction and clarification come amid heightened public scrutiny over financial allocations and accountability within the government transition process.
