Deputy Director of Operations at the Presidency, Mustapha Gbande, has lambasted the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), stating that half of their officials would have fled Ghana if he had been president, due to alleged corruption.
Some members of the NPP have accused the Mahama administration of harassing and persecuting innocent former officials of the previous Akufo-Addo government since assuming power.
However, Mustapha Gbande, in an interview on Starr Chat with Bola Ray, urged the NPP to be thankful to President John Mahama for not being as ruthless as he could have been in pursuing corrupt party members.
He stated that President Mahama has been very lenient with corrupt NPP officials by not immediately dragging them before the courts to face charges.
