The Director of Communications for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Richard Ahiagbah, has disclosed that former President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has instructed his former appointees to remain accessible for any accountability processes following the end of his tenure.
Mr. Ahiagbah’s statement comes in response to growing public calls for transparency as the country transitions to a new political administration.
Speaking on Joy News on Wednesday, February 18, he reaffirmed the NPP’s dedication to accountability and transparency, emphasizing that the party remains committed to upholding good governance principles.
“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].
“We’ll deal with the issues here. It was the National Democratic Congress’ members who ran away. My own sister, Sedinam Tamakloe, [former MASLOC CEO] disappeared. She was tried in absentia, but she ought to be here. Our party has no history of our officials fleeing from accountability. We [the NPP] have no record of running away, we’ll be here.”
Mr. Ahiagbah stated that the New Patriotic Party’s primary focus is on preparing for the 2028 elections while ensuring its members remain accountable for their time in office.
“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.”
The Office of the Special Prosecutor, led by Kissi Agyebeng, recently declared former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta a fugitive on the country’s wanted list but later stated that he was no longer considered a fugitive from justice.
According to his lawyers, Mr. Ofori-Atta is currently seeking medical treatment abroad.
