Members of the Journalists Against Corruption have congratulated President-elect, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, for winning the December 7 polls.
“We are exceptionally glad to join civil society organisations, individuals, political parties, the clergy and the general public to express our deepest and sincere congratulations to you for winning this year’s general elections to serve a second term as the President of the Republic of Ghana (from 7th January 2021 to 7th January, 2025),” the group said.
This was contained in a release signed by the convener of the group, Isaac Boamah Darko.
Corruption fight
The group further urged the President-elect to continue with his fight against corruption.
“As a group with the sole interest of exposing corrupt officials, we would strive at all cost to report on public officials whose quest is to cause the retrogression of your government and the state.
“We would urge that should such corruption expose be laid on your table for consideration, rapid measures be taken to deal with the perpetrators according to the full rigours of the law to create public confidence and trust in your government,” the group said.
It added: “We wish you a successful end of your first tenure and pray that the Good Lord grant you strength to continue your next term come 7th January, 2021.”
