The spokesperson for President-elect, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo's transition team says they expect openness, transparency and honesty from the outgoing administration as the two teams hold their first meeting Wednesday. 

Mustapha Hamid says the party's leader has set the tone for both sides to be transparent in the course of the process when he addressed the inauguration of the Transition exercise on Sunday. 

The President-elect basking in the victory of last Wednesday's polls entreated members of the transition team to let cooperation and openness guide their work which he believes would facilitate a thorough job done.

The meeting is to afford the incoming New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration insight into the state of the nation ahead of the formal inauguration of the new president on January 7. 

"We will meet tomorrow at 10 a.m at the International Conference Centre to set up the Transitional Committee comprising those of the incoming and outgoing teams. There would also be the transitional committee on finance, energy, infrastructure, social services, presidency, handing over notes," he told Joy News Tuesday. 

He added that hopefully by tomorrow, the handing over notes from the outgoing government would be ready and they would be given to the respective committees and the deliberations would begin. 

According to Mustapha Hamid, once his team gets the notes they would scrutinise it and ask further questions for clarity as this would be the basis for proceeding on anything.

"Certainly there would be questions that we would need clarifications on, and those questions would be the basis for meetings...we already have a lot of information from various ministries and government agencies and we hope that the notes that we would be given would be consistent with some of the things that we know. Where there are inconsistencies we would ask questions," he said.

Mr Hamid does not expect any hiccups past transition have experienced if the teams work with honesty, openness and transparency as said Nana Akufo-Addo said. 

He stressed that past traditions did not have a law governing them, unlike the current system where there is a law governing the process adding he has "no doubt this would be arguably the smoothest transition process we are likely to have."
