Deputy Presidential Spokesperson Shamima Muslim has dismissed suggestions that the discontinuation of prosecutions against some pro-NDC members undermines President John Mahama’s commitment to fighting corruption.
Speaking on Joy News’ PM Express on Monday, February 10, she insisted that Mahama has demonstrated a stronger resolve to tackle corruption than his predecessors and will not shield anyone involved in wrongdoing.
“We should have confidence that he is not going to cover up any member of his administration,” Shamima Muslim said.
Her remarks come in response to criticisms that Mahama’s decision to drop cases involving some NDC-affiliated individuals signals a lack of commitment to fighting corruption.
“Eight good years, the New Patriotic Party had to prosecute some of these cases. Eight good years that they had a very favorable representation in our courts,” she said.
“Excuse me to say, unfortunate, but we all know the perceptions around the packing of the court by former President Nana Akufo-Addo, and sometimes some of what people describe as procured outcomes from our courts.”
Shamima Muslim assured Ghanaians that the Attorney General will soon disclose the full details behind the discontinuation of these cases.
In the coming days, the Attorney General will disclose comprehensively the reasons and grounds on which those cases that have been discontinued have been discontinued,” she said.
