Mr Adam made the statement following a publication in a pro-NDC newspaper, The Herald, that some NDC national executives were given money to support party grassroots but kept it and that the former president, John Mahama, is ready to mention the names of such culprits.

"Let me state on record that the party executives did not handle agent money. The distribution of monies meant for agents was done by somebody that was selected by the system and it was delivered directly to the regions," he said in an interview with Accra-based Radio Gold.

"I don’t know who was responsible for receiving those monies so if anybody published that somebody at FEC received monies for agents and he or she did not deliver; it cannot be true."
