A former Deputy Communication Minister has urged Ghanaian electorates to massively vote against the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) if they want wrongdoers in President Akufo-Addo's government to be prosecuted.
Felix Kwakye Ofosu says as long as the ruling party stays in office, the wrongdoers will not be held accountable.
In a social media post on X formerly known as Twitter on Thursday, August 31, the National Democratic Congress (NDC)’s Parliamentary Candidate for Abura Asebu-Kwamankese cited the case of the embattled former Sanitation and Water Resources Minister's case as an example.
"I am surprised people are surprised about the turn of events in the Cecilia Dapaah matter. As long as Akufo-Addo and his NPP remain in office, no NPP wrongdoer will ever be held to account. If you want them held to account, boot them out in 2024."

The Financial and Economic Division of an Accra High Court on Thursday ordered the Office of the Special Prosecutor to return all monies seized from her to her.
The Court orders that this ruling be complied with within seven days.
According to the court, it cannot confirm the freezing of her bank accounts and other properties.
Cecilia Abena Dapaah opposed the application by the OSP to freeze her accounts and seize her property.
It followed the OSP’s filing of a motion for confirmation of the order of freezing and seizure of the former Minister’s tainted property.
The OSP said to facilitate investigations, it considered it necessary for the issuance of a “freezing order against the bank account and investment of the former Minister at Prudential Bank Limited and Societe General Ghana in accordance with Section 38 (1) of Act 959 and regulation 19 (I) of LI 2374”.
Subsequently, the OSP conducted searches in three residential properties associated with the former Minister at Cantonment, Abelemkpe and Tesano all in Accra.
