Manasseh Azuri Awini says, “Any president in bed with Jospong but claims to be fighting corruption is nothing but a fraud.”
He remembers how Mahama publicly backed Jospong’s CEO in 2016, the same year the NDC lost the election.
The business prospered under the Akufo-Addo administration in spite of this, continuing what Manasseh refers to as its “havoc on state institutions.”
Manasseh uses his investigative background to accuse the Jospong Group of being worse than other organizations he has uncovered, such the Agams Group in the GYEEDA scam.
He cautions that further interactions with Jospong will tarnish the reputation of his administration and weaken Mahama’s anti-corruption posture.
“If you could stop Roland Agambire and rLG after my GYEEDA investigation that also implicated Jospong, you should be able to stop Jospong,” Manasseh added.
The letter from the journalist serves as a sobering reminder of the sway that strong private organizations can have over public policy. Manasseh’s conclusion is unambiguous: Mahama must put the interests of the country ahead of personal ties, regardless of how politically advantageous they may appear, if he is to be successful in combating corruption.
But as Manasseh points out, a single mistake might make the operation a liability rather than a triumph for justice.
