According to Richard Ahiagbah, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Director of Communications, former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has directed appointees of his eight-year tenure to subject themselves to any necessary accountability processes activated by the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) led by President John Mahama.

"We have no record of running away; we’ll be here," Ahiagbah asserted on Joy News’ PM Express.

"We’ll deal with the issues here. It was the NDC members who ran away. My own sister, Sedinam Tamakloe, disappeared. She was tried in absentia, but she ought to be here. Our party has no history of our officials fleeing from accountability."

"Our preoccupation is how we get our party situated and contest the 2028 election. Matters to do with accountability – our people will be here to answer the questions," he noted.

He revealed, "There’s an effective commitment right from the former President himself. He has given a directive to ensure that our people are available to do that.

"I just don’t want to go into the details of what he said, but there is that disposition from the former President – an indication to stay and make sure that you account for [your stewardship]."

There are widespread calls for accountability from various public servants of the previous government of Ghana, while the NDC promises prosecutions and punishments where justifiable through its Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) drive.
