He noted that officials found to be corrupt must not throng the NDC head office to seek for any support from the party.

"This opposition is not ready to defend any person which would be proven to have engaged in corrupt acts in the former administration…NDC is not going to defend any rot…If you are found culpable, go and defend your troubles," he added.

In an interview on Accra-based Adom FM, he said "If it is proven that you were indeed corrupt, why should I follow you?… I wouldn’t want to follow anybody like that."

He claimed that acts of corruption usually occur largely as a result of the failure of some ministers to review last minute contracts given them to sign.

"I have told my minister colleagues not to sign any document that is presented to them after 4:00 pm in the name of emergency…that’s where the corrupt acts are hidden."

According to him, increasing cases of corruption are being recorded in the country, calling on the government to jail government appointees who are culprits.
