Mahama Pledges Non-Interference in Ghana's Anti-Corruption Crackdown

Ghanaian President John Mahama pledges non-interference in anti-corruption investigations. In a recent address, President Mahama declared his commitment to allowing anti-corruption agencies to operate without political influence. "I have told my Attorney General that I’m not going to interfere in their work and that if the anti-corruption agencies go after anybody, I'm not going to influence them to drop investigation against anybody both for those who served in the previous regime and current." This statement comes amidst ongoing investigations into alleged corruption within both the current and previous administrations. The President's commitment to impartial justice is a significant development in Ghana's fight against corruption. The move is seen as an attempt to bolster public trust and confidence in the integrity of the judicial process. The ongoing investigations involve numerous cases, including the Ajapong deal, which is currently under scrutiny. The establishment of special investigative teams to look into these cases is a further indication of the government's commitment to transparency and accountability.
