He noted that, Nana Addo's rejection of the $500,000 Christmas Hamper gives him credence of fighting corruption in the country.
"All these should tell you that Akufo-Addo is not corrupt," he added.
Nana Addo said, "We have decided that as much as possible we want to take the politics out of it."

He has indicated one of his priorities would be to establish the Office of a Special Prosecutor to deal with corruption.
The move, according to him was intended to separate politics from criminal investigations.
"If your goal in coming into government is to enrich yourself, then doesn’t come. Go to the private sector. Public service is going to be exactly that; public service!," Nana Addo noted.
