Fiifi Fiavi Kwetey, the General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has issued a stern warning to government appointees.
According to Fiifi Fiavi Kwetey, government appointees who have the motive of only acquiring properties must leave the NDC and join the NPP.
Speaking during a gathering, Fiifi Fiavi Kwetey issued a stern warning saying, “I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with having a property, but I’m saying if your motive and your reason for being a member of this party is what you can get, then you are in the wrong party. Look for the NPP, that is your party”.
“You need to understand who we are. They are in a hurry to own world properties that people have worked for 30 years and they don’t have. In a hurry to drive vehicles that people who have worked as ministers they don’t have.
They think by joining this party, they get an opportunity to be able to make something for themselves,” he added.
Meanwhile, Dr Dominic Ayine, the Attorney-General and Minister for Justice has revealed government appointees who violate the 66-page code of conduct will be prosecuted.
He emphasised that appointees will not only be sacked when they breach the code of conduct but will also be prosecuted if the breach warrants it.
Speaking in an interview after President John Dramani Mahama had launched the Code of Conduct Dr Dominic Ayine stated, “If you breach the code, you get disciplined. If there are other consequences flowing from your conduct, that will also be looked at.”
“It should be possible, if criminal conduct flows from what you have done, for the Attorney-General to pick up the matter and ensure that the courts impose the necessary criminal sanctions,” Dr Ayine said.
He added, “I have said it several times, and I will not hesitate to investigate and prosecute anybody who is an appointee of this government who crosses the line. It doesn’t make sense that past appointees will be prosecuted, and then present appointees will go scot-free. That means you are just deferring their prosecution, and it doesn’t make sense.
“The straight and narrow path that has been defined by the President must be the one that we should all walk. I don’t want to have the unpleasant duty of having to investigate my own colleagues,” Dr Ayine stated.
