You Are Not Holding Akufo Addo Accountable – Mahama Blasts Ghanaian Media

John Dramani Mahama, the flagbearer of the opposition NDC, has urged the media to hold President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo accountable for the promises he made to Ghanaians ahead of the 2016 general elections.

โ€œThe media is not holding the government accountable despite knowing what is going on in the galamsey sector,โ€ Mahama said in an interview aired on the Multimedia platforms.

He further accused the government of seizing concessions and handing them over to NPP members.

โ€œSo, if you go to the mining communities, DCEs [District Chief Executives] and NPP party chairmen are actively in the galamsey business,โ€ he alleged.

Mahama noted that scrutiny by the media during his tenure is not the same as during the Akufo-Addo presidency.

โ€œGovernment officials have never been involved in galamsey in our time as compared to now,โ€ he said.

โ€œAkufo-Addo has failed when it comes to the fight against galamsey and he probably should even not be running for office.โ€
