What President Mahama said about becoming a 'supreme leader'

"With the SkyTrain case, for instance, the prosecutors have secured a trial date. As all preliminary matters have been concluded, the trial is set to commence. For the National Service Authority case, due to its expansive nature, charges have been drafted and will be filed as soon as the legal year begins against the following persons, the Republic v Osei Assibey, the Republic v Eric Nyarko, the Republic v Gifty Oware," he noted.

"Also, for the National Cathedral, we are awaiting a forensic audit from the Auditor General. Additionally, charges have been drafted and are ready for filing in the case of Republic v Wontumi and Akonta Mining. The Economic and Organised Crime Office, EOCO, is finalising its report with respect to Exim Bank transactions,” he added.

"Dockets are in preparation for the Buffer Stock case and the DRIP Equipment case. Investigations are ongoing into the African Cup of Nations case, the Mathematics set case, and approximately 20 other cases currently," he stated.

President Mahama reaffirmed his government’s commitment to fighting corruption.

“Let me be clear, every single case of corruption that needs to be investigated is being looked into, and once evidence is found to ground the prosecution, that will happen swiftly,” he stressed.
