The National Communications Officer of the National Democratic Congress has accused the Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia of being part of the ongoing state capture and corruption.

Speaking at the NDC's 'Moment of Truth series'  on August 7, Sammy GyamfI noted that the NPP flagbearer is “neck deep in the rampant corruption and nepotism that has engulfed this nation-wrecking NPP government.”

“Alhaji Bawumia has proven time and again that he is a chronic liar and therefore cannot be trusted. It is clear from the foregoing facts, that Bawumia is one of the key architects of the ongoing state capture and corruption that is destroying our nation,” he claimed.

This he attributed to Dr Bawumia awarding five different contracts to his brother, Abraham Bawumia, at a highly inflated commutative price of GH₵ 218 million through sole sourcing.

In light of these allegations, Mr Gyamfi noted that the NPP flagbearer cannot therefore be trusted to fight the canker of corruption, as he is an integral part of the free-for-all grabbing of state resources and the unprecedented state capture.

“It therefore goes without saying, that a vote for Alhaji Bawumia is a vote to cover up the corrupt deeds of this nation-wrecking NPP government and shield wrongdoers including Bawumia and his corrupt mentor, Akufo-Addo, from accountability,” he added.

He used the medium to call on Ghanaians to vote for the NDC for a change that will ensure genuine accountability and justice.

“As you may be aware, H.E. John Dramani Mahama has promised that when elected, he will confront the canker of corruption head-on, by ensuring that the sword of accountability cuts both ways. He has promised to hold members of this corrupt Akufo-Addo/Bawumia/NPP government accountable for all their corrupt acts.

“Fellow countrymen and women, you can be rest assured, that under the next NDC/Mahama government these sleazy, illegal and inflated sole sourced contracts will be investigated and the “agyapadie” thieves prosecuted,”’ he assured.
