Let me reassure you of one thing, every allegation about corruption against any official or a member of my government will be investigated by the law enforcement agencies \u2013 every single one.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThose who made that allegation it is better you support it with evidence when making this allegation of corruption because nobody is going to get away with it. I am not going to preside over a government that will support corruption in the country. We need to deal with it,\u201d he underscored in an address at the weekend during the governing NPP\u2019s Annual National Delegates Conference in Cape Coast.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Commenting on this in an interaction with Journalists, the former leader argued that the mechanism used by Akufo-Addo in investigating the barrage of corruption scandals so far in his government is apt.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, he said the Mr. Akufo-Addo\u2019s modus operandi used in dealing with the scandal that hit the Bulk Oil Storage and Transportation Company Ltd(BOST) cannot be faltered.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe President\u2019s approach, I believe, is the right approach. After all, he is a lawyer and you don\u2019t convict people before you\u2019ve even investigated and tried them. So, the president\u2019s approach is the right one. The most important thing for all of us to look forward to is that whoever is appointed as the Special Prosecutor will be the type of good person we are talking about.
