President John Mahama has told a gathering of Ghanaian diaspora in the UK that no Ghanaian has been able to point our corrupt officials in his cabinet for sanction.
“All the time people keep saying that your ministers are thieves. Then I ask them, which one? Tell me so I can sanction them. Then their response will be, put your ears down, are you not listening?”
His comments came a day after he granted an interview to the BBC where he claimed he has never taken bribe before.
He told the BBC's Peter Okwoche that his government is fighting corruption more than previous regimes.

He noted that claims of corruption is rife in his government because he has created an atmosphere where people freely discuss it.
“It is easy to say that there is more corruption in this regime than that regime; but where will comparison of regimes take us? It won’t take us anywhere. The important thing is to put in the systems that prevent corruption from tak xing place and then have the political willingness to expose it, investigate it, and sanction it.”
