Corruption Fight: Why Franklin Cudjoe trust Mahama over Bawumia

Franklin Cudjoe, President of IMANI Africa, has said he believes in the Flagbearer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), John Dramani Mahama’s dedication to fighting corruption.

During a town hall meeting on Monday, August 12, at the Bukom Boxing Arena, Mahama pledged, as part of his larger plans to combat corruption in the nation by holding public office holders accountable if elected president.

Franklin Cudjoe told Citi News that he thinks Mahama can be trusted to keep his word despite criticism from the governing New Patriotic Party.

He compared President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo’s track record on corruption with Mahama’s position.

“I can understand the caution, but [President] Akufo-Addo is not John Mahama. At least we tested both. As I understand, [President] Akufo-Addo has walked back on some of his words many, many times. No haircut; he gave us a dubious haircut.

“Galamsey, he said he would put his presidency on the line, and nothing has happened because the rivers are worse off now than ever before.

“I should be cautious, but I think I will trust John Dramani Mahama a bit more than [President] Akufo-Addo because unfortunately, [President] Akufo-Addo has proven not to be trustworthy on these things,” Franklin Cudjoe said in a report by citinewsroom.com.
