“You Will be Held Accountable”: Asiedu Nketia Warns Government Appointees Against Corruption

• Johnson Asiedu Nketia has warned party members appointed to government positions against engaging in corruption
• He emphasises that any NDC appointee found guilty of corruption will face consequences, just like those from the previous administration
• Asiedu Nketia also reminded appointees to serve with dignity and integrity, stressing the need to avoid corruption

The Chairman of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, has issued a stern warning to party members appointed to various positions in government.

Speaking at a recent event, Asiedu Nketia cautioned appointees of President John Dramani Mahama’s administration against engaging in corrupt practices.

He said that while the government would ensure that all looted state funds are recovered from appointees of the previous administration, any member of the NDC caught in any corruption-related issue will not be spared.

Asiedu Nketia also reminded appointees in President Mahama’s administration of the need to serve with dignity and integrity.

“While we are taking action against all the corruption cases involving appointees of the previous administration, I would also like to remind our appointees not to engage in corruption, because we will hold them accountable,” he cautioned.

“As for government money, you can’t misuse it, but if you do, you will be dealt with. So, while we are dealing with appointees of the past government, you, the NDC appointee, if you also misuse public funds, you will face the same ordeal the past appointees are currently going through,” he added.

The NDC National Chairman stated that taxpayers’ money is only meant for developing the country and not for any appointee to misappropriate.

“If we collect taxes, share them among ourselves, and the citizens do not see any development around them, the country will suffer, and the citizenry will become fed up with politicians,” he further cautioned.
