The Director-General of the National Road Safety Authority (NRSA), Abraham Amaliba, has issued a strong caution to officials in the Mahama administration, urging them to uphold integrity and avoid corruption.
His warning follows the Special Prosecutor’s ongoing investigations into alleged corruption cases involving members of the Akufo-Addo administration, including former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta.
On February 12, the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) declared Ofori-Atta a suspect in four major corruption investigations, including cases related to the National Cathedral project and Strategic Mobilization Limited (SML). Special Prosecutor Kissi Agyebeng further announced that the former minister was now a wanted person and must return for questioning immediately or face legal consequences.
Speaking in an interview with Selorm Adonoo on Channel One TV, Amaliba advised officials of the Mahama administration to take lessons from these developments and ensure they serve transparently and ethically.
He also warned against attacking the Special Prosecutor when investigations into their own actions begin, emphasizing that no one will be shielded from accountability if found guilty of corruption.
> “This is the time that his hands are [Special Prosecutor] free, but we government appointees must also know that after he’s done with former executives [officials], he will be coming after us. I don’t know what time he’s going to come, but when the wrongs are committed in our administration and he comes after our people, we mustn’t start calling him names.”
> “The fact that he’s doing this because people voted for accountability doesn’t mean that the accountability will not be extended to us who are in power today. And that is the question I want to give to our appointees.”
