Mahama forms anti-corruption drive team

President-elect John Dramani Mahama has formed a five-member team tasked with collecting and reviewing reports from the public on potential corruption cases.

In a press statement issued on Wednesday, December 18, and signed by the spokesperson of the Mahama Transition Team, it was announced that the new body will act as a channel for citizens to report corruption-related issues.

The statement emphasized President-elect Mahama’s commitment to addressing corruption effectively and ensuring responsible management of public resources.

The team will be chaired by Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, Member of Parliament for North Tongu. Other members include distinguished individuals such as former Auditor-General Daniel Domelevo, retired Commissioner of Police Nathaniel Kofi Boakye, private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu, and investigative journalist Raymond Archer.

With their combined expertise, the team aims to strengthen the fight against corruption and improve the country’s institutions.

This initiative is part of a wider effort by the incoming Mahama administration to restore public trust and reinforce institutions responsible for combating corruption, while also promoting greater citizen engagement in the process.
