Government won't spare Ex-Ministers

The majority leader in parliament, Mr J.H. Mensah, according to the Free Press, has revealed that the out-gone National Democratic Congress (NDC) government depleted the state coffers and that as at now "there is nothing left" for the new administration to use for national development and other pressing issues.

He said. "We shall delve deeply into the depletion of the state's resources and if detected that any minister has misappropriated any state funds, such a minister will be made to answer and account for the lapses."

Mr Mensah who is designated as the Minister for Government Business, said such a situation makes it difficult for the new administration to operate smoothly.

He promised that they shall endeavour to ensure that the new government fulfills its electioneering promises made to the masses before being elected to power.

Mr Mensah who was addressing a "victory and thank you" rally organised by the Sekondi Constituency of the party also promised that the NPP government would soon bring to light the current state of the national economy before embarking fully on business to make the people aware of the state of affairs.
