The Convention Peoples Party (CPP) has indicated that President John Mahama should come clean and admit that he has been "incompetent" in dealing with issues of corruption in the country.
This comes on the wake of the interview the President granted the BBC in the UK on the sidelines of the anti-corruption summit.
The president had stated that he had fought corruption better than any other regime in the country adding that “Any human being in the world would have encountered corruption one way or the other, either being offered a bribe or a bribe being demanded from you. What you need to do is to put yourself in a position to (resist it)."

When he was asked directly by the interviewer if he has taken bribe, Mahama responded saying “no, I haven’t taken bribe”.
But, Youth Organiser, Ernesto Yeboah has told Accra-based Citi FM that the president has nothing to show for his fight against corruption.
"How did he deal with clear cases of corruption, clear cases where the court had ordered that he should go for our monies? What is happening to ISOFOTON for instance? So the president would do himself a lot of good if he desists from making such comments when it comes to the issue of corruption.
"The way forward for him is to be truthful and tell the people of Ghana that he’s been inept or incompetent in dealing with issues of corruption but to pretend that the news about corruption and its exposure is what has given a heightened sense of it, it’s a part of disrespect to the people of Ghana," the CPP Youth organiser added.
