He said such a development is yet to happen in Nana Akufo-Addo’s administration.
“You have people who were in my government standing trial. Some of them have been sent to prison. So a lot of the corruption that is happening will be happening under the current dispensation,” he said.
Mahama however, charged Kissi Agyebeng, the newly appointed Special Prosecutor, to be neutral in discharging his duties.
