We shall probe halted Agyapa deal in 2025 – NDC

The opposition National Democratic Congress has declared its intention to investigate the purported $12 million Agyapa deal allegedly arranged by the Minerals Income Investment Fund (MIIF) when it takes up the reins of government in 2025.

Speaking at the Moment of Truth Press Conference on Monday, the National Communications Director for the NDC, Sammy Gyamfi, stated that the NDC does not support corruption or people who indulge in corrupt activities.

Lawyer Sammy Gyamfi contended that the Agyapa deal was a scam that caused financial loss to the state; hence, the culprits of such a scam must be brought to justice.

“The next NDC government will investigate the stinky $12 million “Agyapa” scam, retrieve all illegal payments made under the same, and ensure that all the perpetrators are prosecuted. The day of accountability is fast approaching, and no one found culpable will be left off the hook by the next NDC/Mahama government. This is a solemn pledge and our charge to keep when, by the grace of God and the Ghanaian people, the NDC assumes the reins of government in 2025.”

“Fellow countrymen and women, the “Agyapa” scam clearly amounts to wilfully causing financial loss to the state, and the culprits of the same must not go unpunished. We in the NDC, and all well-meaning Ghanaians, repose huge trust and confidence in H.E. John Mahama to pursue and retrieve for the state public funds that have been lost to looting schemes such as this “Agyapa” scandal, the PDS scandal, the “BOSTGATE” scandal, and other acts of naked thievery by officials of the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government and their party apparatchiks,” he disclosed.

Sammy Gyamfi asserted that the only way Ghanaians can get to the root of corruption is to vote for the NDC in power in the upcoming 2024 elections, urging Ghanaians to reject corruption, economic mismanagement, nepotism, impunity, and arrogance of power by rejecting Dr. Bawumia as president on December 7, 2024.

“The only way Ghanaians can get to the bottom of the litany of corrupt acts and scandals involving officials of this government, including Bawumia himself, is for the good people of Ghana to resoundingly boot the NPP out of office on 7th December, 2024.

“In so doing, our surest bet of exacting genuine accountability will be to vote overwhelmingly for H.E. John Dramani Mahama and the NDC to enable us to pursue true accountability, which has been missing in our national affairs in the last seven (7) years,” he added.
