The flag bearer of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) should abide by electoral laws and declare his assets if he is not corrupt, governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) Campaign Coordinator Kofi Adams has said.
“Nana Addo is being given the opportunity to declare his assets if he says he is not corrupt. Why is he hiding under not being a public officer?” Mr. Adams questioned.
According to him, “The C.I. that governs elections has an aspect which talks about asset declaration. Indeed, it was based on that section that the Electoral Commission (EC) was reminding people, including private citizens who want to contest elections, to do so.”
Mr. Adams raised these concerns during an interview with Prince Minkah on Class91.3FM’s Executive Breakfast Show on Thursday September 29.
Mr. Adams insisted: “The president (Mr. Mahama) has declared his assets long ago.” According to the National Organiser of the NDC, the Three-time presidential nominee of the NPP should follow the example of Dr Papa Kwesi Nduom, the flag bearer of the Progressive People’s Party (PPP) and also declare his assets. “He should come and tell Ghanaians what they are running away from, he and his running mate.”
As part of the requirements for the filing of nominations ahead of the 2016 elections, the EC has requested presidential and parliamentary aspirants to declare their assets, but the acting General Secretary of the NPP says there is no law that mandates that request.
“You do not have to do it if you are not a public officer. The law on which the EC even gave the directions is a law that has been repealed. So it is not applicable…” he indicated on the same radio programme.
He emphasised that what Mr. Akufo-Addo will do is to “file his tax returns” but will not declare his assets.

You thought you could clandestinely in conjunction with the EC rope in this asset declaration trick to disqualify legitimate Aspirants right. God has seen your diabolical plot and will surely punish you and the EC when the time comes.

Aoh Kofi Adams, you speak like you are the PRO or Communications Director for the EC. Bible says anybody who COVERS his/her SINS shall NOT prosper. I know you know the MANY terrible wrongs/happenings in the NDC. The late Prof. would say "Di wo fie asem". Ghana should work again.
JONATHAN LAGOS, THE LAW IS VERY CLEAR THAT ONE WHO ALLEGES MUST PROOVE. IT IS BLOCKHEADS LIKE YOU AND KOFI KOTOKOLI ADAMU WHO SHOULD DO THE PROOVING. BAM
NPP why are you always insulting anyone who disagrees with your Nana? You very intolerant. Why insult the messenger and leave out the message. The LAW was passed in parliament, the EC is just enforcing it, why insult others who you don't agree with? yet you claim to be democrate Repent now
The NDC should not be deceived by this traitor called Kofi Adams. He has close links with the former president and nana addo. All what he is doing is fake. By the time the NDC wakes up he has sold the party to opposition. He is a mole in the party. Some of us know it and we keep warning our executives. This guy can not be trusted. Have you ever seen Nana Konadu or Rawlings complaining about Kofi Adams before? Like they did to Victor Smith?
MY bro Adams if not for Ghana politics which soooo Cheap,like how can you talk in that manner. WHAT WORK DO YOU THAT YOU WERE ABLE TO AFFORD A HOUSE IN COMM, 25.avuuu kukro,fiafi tor
Who is Kofi Adams to tell Nana Addo what to do in matters of intellectual discourse. The EC will not have accepted Nana Addo's nomination form if he (Nana Addo) has side-stepped a major requirement. In any case, Kofi Adams, and for that matter the NDC, can resort to the law courts if they have any corruption charges against the Nana Akuffo-Addo.
Kofi Adams-The togolese man,always NDC is full of fooooooools
