The New Patriotic Party has charged president John Mills to do more than just public condemnation of corruption. Head of Communications Nana Akomea said the best demonstration of commitment to fighting corruption is action not words. His statement on Joy News follows angry outburst by President John Mills at the Tema Harbour after ace investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas had uncovered bribery and corruption at the country’s harbour. The president charged the Judiciary to help fight the canker, saying he will no longer countenance the seeming lack of commitment in fighting corruption. But Nana Akomeah in an interview with Joy News’ Dzifa Bampoh said Mills’ comments on the Judiciary were misdirected and misplaced. Rather than blaming the entire Judiciary, Nana Akomea said the president must blame the state prosecutors at the Attorney General’s Department who he said have shown little interest in prosecuting the case. He argued 14 Customs Exercise and Preventive Service (CEPS) personnel indicted by a similar Anas Aremeyaw Anas’s investigative piece on cocoa smuggling have been discharged by the courts because of lack of prosecution. He said the government of President John Mills may well be causing financial loss to the state if it sponsored the investigation by Anas Aremeyaw Anas and yet did not act on the incriminating evidence adduced. “I don’t know who sponsored Mr. Anas for his work. If Government sponsored him, what it means is that we have thrown public money for him to do excellent work and then we do not use the results of his work. That is financial loss. “It is not about who sponsored Mr Anas or did not. It is about what we have done with the work Anas has produced,” he noted. The Okaikoi South MP said the president expressed his “usual outrage” when the CEPS officials were indicted for smuggling cocoa out of the country." "All the usual outrage and the noises were made and yet the people who are supposed to follow through failed to turn up in court; not once; not twice; according to reports three consecutive adjournments,” he lamented. Reacting to comments attributed to the Deputy Attorney General that the case can be reopened; Nana Akomea said that was not good enough. “The suspects have been freed on two occasions at two different courts for the same reasons - [wont of prosecution]. So are we going to reopen it for the third time?” he quizzed. He described as “scandalous” the treatment of Anas’ tape and urged government to act on corruption.
