I do not take any pride in prosecuting people if they have done no wrong – Mahama

President John Dramani Mahama has reiterated that his administration's accountability drive is not motivated by political vendetta, insisting that he derives no satisfaction from prosecuting individuals who have committed no offence, and that all investigations must be grounded in credible evidence and due process."I believe that our prosecutorial system, investigative system and judicial system grant enough leverage for people to have justice, and so nobody would, out of political vendetta or malice, prosecute anybody if you've done no wrong," he stated.

President Mahama dismissed suggestions that the government's accountability agenda is designed to hound political opponents, maintaining that every investigation is initiated and pursued on the strength of evidence gathered by the relevant state institutions.
