Special Aide to Ghana’s President-elect, John Dramani Mahama, Joyce Bawa Mogtari has said young people are interested in ORAL, they want to see prosecution.
According to Joyce Bawa, John Mahama knows that young people in Ghana want to see something different.
Speaking in an interview on Channel One TV on Tuesday, December 10, she stated, “All the young people and men are really interested in ORAL. They want to see each allegation of corruption investigated. They want to see them prosecuted. They want to see us recover some of these monies”.
“They want explanations as to why we have expended $58 million on the national cathedral, taxpayers’ money. They want to know why we don’t have the Pwalugu dam when we’ve expended $11.8 million. Why are we still experiencing challenges in power distribution, when we have a debt of over billions owed by ECG; even importing meters nobody can use? These things ought to be investigated”, she detailed.
Mahama’s aid further emphasized, “It is a history that we don’t want to remember too often. We want to ask what the money was used for, who it went to, and how $58 million expended on that project is questionable, and I am sure there is even more, but because they are in government, they are hiding how much has been expended.”
“How can you expend $58 million and have nothing to show for it? There are a lot of things that we intend to do with that piece of land, and I think that we should focus on recovering the resources and putting them to better use”, Joyce Bawa asserted.
