According to the report by Mynewsgh today Saturday, Former Finance Minister Adam Amin has vowed to investigate the source of a luxury vehicle reportedly linked to former Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama.
Amin, who served in the previous administration, accused Mahama of questionable wealth acquisition, particularly regarding a $600,000 car said to be in the former president’s possession.
Speaking at a public gathering in Accra, Amin said,
“We will probe the source of that $600,000 luxury car. The time is coming, and no one will escape accountability.”
He emphasized the need for transparency, especially among past and present political leaders.
According to Amin, the luxury vehicle raises concerns about unexplained wealth within the political class.
He argued that Ghana’s economic struggles have been exacerbated by corruption and misuse of public resources.
“The ordinary Ghanaian is struggling to make ends meet, yet some individuals live lavishly without clear sources of their wealth,” he added.
Mahama, who is seeking another term in the upcoming elections, has consistently denied any involvement in corrupt activities.
He has stated that his wealth is legitimate and accumulated through years of service and personal investments.
In a recent interview, Mahama responded to the allegations, saying,
“I have never taken a bribe or misused public funds. These accusations are part of a smear campaign to distract the public from the real issues.”
The luxury car in question is said to be a high-end model imported in 2023. Amin claims there is no official record showing how Mahama acquired the vehicle.
“We have documents indicating when the car arrived, but the ownership trail is suspicious. We will get to the bottom of it,” he asserted.
Political analysts believe these accusations are part of the intensifying political battle ahead of the general elections.
The National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mahama’s party, has dismissed Amin’s remarks as baseless and politically motivated.
Meanwhile, ordinary citizens are expressing mixed reactions.
Some support the investigation, while others view it as a distraction from pressing issues like unemployment and inflation.
The debate over Mahama’s luxury car is expected to remain a hot topic. For now, Adam Amin remains firm in his stance:
“No one is above the law, and the time of reckoning is near.”
