The Member of Parliament for Korle Klottey, Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings, says the next NDC government led by John Dramani Mahama will hold corrupt government officials accountable.
This, according to her, is because corruption is the biggest threat to Ghana’s democracy.
Speaking during the campaign launch of the NDC in Tamale in the Northern Region on Saturday, July 27, Dr Agyeman-Rawlings stressed that there will be zero tolerance for corruption.
“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 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 NDC lawmaker urged the citizens to demand accountability from leaders and work together to combat corruption.
According to her, "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.”
