The lead Convener of the FixTheCountry and Democracy Hub, Oliver Barker-Vormawor has quizzed whether President John Mahama will be the Farida and Sharif alone or will he add Gabby Otchere Darko and Ken Ofori Atta too.
He noted that the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has never since 1992 successfully, investigated or prosecuted any NPP official.
According to him, the late Atta-Mills set the precedent of allowing thieves to go and enjoy their loot when he decided to be “Father for All”.

He further wrote, “But see oo. what I find strange is that the NDC has never since 1992 successfully, investigated or prosecuted any NPP minister, government or president. None I can remember anyway. That’s interesting, isn’t it?”.
“Atta-Mills set the precedent of allowing thieves to go and enjoy their loot when he decided to be “Father for All”, he further stated.
Oliver Barker further detailed the number of prosecutions under the NPP, he wrote“Under Kufuor, several former Senior NDC Government officials went to jail, including a sitting MP. Former Ministers and Deputy Ministers for Finance, Trade & Industry, Tsatsu Tsikata, you name it. Most of those prosecutions were led by Nana Addo personally as AG”.
“Under Nana Addo himself, 3 NDC MPs were prosecuted. 2 found not guilty and 1 still ongoing. Even Ato Forson, the majority leader and now minister of Finance designate escaped jail by a toenail”, his statement added.
