Deputy Presidential Spokesperson Shamima Muslim has dismissed suggestions that the discontinuation of prosecutions against some pro-NDC members undermines President John Mahama's commitment to fighting corruption.
Speaking on Joy News' PM Express on Monday, February 11, she insisted that Mahama has demonstrated a stronger resolve to tackle corruption than his predecessors and will not shield anyone involved in wrongdoing. "We should have confidence that he is not going to cover up any member of his administration," Shamima Muslim said.
Her remarks come in response to criticisms that Mahama's decision to drop cases involving some NDC-affiliated individuals signals a lack of commitment to fighting corruption.
However, Shamima Muslim maintains that Mahama's approach is not about protecting political allies but ensuring that justice is served based on merit rather than political vendettas.
