“Sitting at the Finance Ministry and seeing what is in the books, Ghanaians have truly been patient with the NPP, both in power and now in opposition. I would have shared some data this morning, but we are bound by the oath of secrecy and confidentiality of office, which prevents the public disclosure of certain economic information,” he stated.
His remarks suggest that Ghana’s financial situation is far worse than previously understood, and his revelations could significantly undermine the New Patriotic Party (NPP), which is now in opposition. Although he refrained from providing specific details, his statement carried a strong warning.
“However, if Ghanaians truly knew the economic mess left behind by Ex-President Nana Addo and his NPP appointees, we would all be calling for a ‘fast-track court’ to jail these ‘criminal’ masterminds,” Dr. Iddrisu added, emphasizing that the alleged financial irregularities were not minor mistakes but serious economic offenses.
His comments have sparked intense debates among political analysts, with many calling for a comprehensive audit of the Finance Ministry’s records. Some Ghanaians are demanding transparency, urging the Mahama administration to publicly disclose any evidence of wrongdoing by the former government. Meanwhile, NPP supporters argue that Dr. Iddrisu’s statements are politically motivated and aimed at discrediting the opposition.
The Finance Ministry has long been a focal point of economic discussions in Ghana, with both major parties—the NDC and NPP—accusing each other of contributing to the country’s financial challenges. If Dr. Iddrisu follows through on his hints to expose corruption, it could lead to high-profile investigations and potential prosecutions.
For now, Ghanaians are left in suspense. Will Dr. Iddrisu reveal more details? Or will the oath of secrecy keep these alleged corrupt activities under wraps? Only time will tell, but one thing is clear—this marks the beginning of a new political showdown.
