Audio Attachment:Murtala Mohammed on Radio Gold |
Former Member of Parliament for Nantong constituency in the Northern Region of Ghana, Ibrahim Murtala Mohammed is surprised at the ‘loud silence’ of former President Jerry John Rawlings and two other distinguished personalities over the level of corruption that has allegedly bedevilled the Akufo-Addo led government with just months into their administration.
“My shock is this: the loud silence of our founder, former President Rawlings and his wife, Nana Konadu and Martin Amidu is fantastically noticed…this is an own goal; that we have never sensed this palpable thievery and robbery in this country than we are experiencing today. I haven’t seen the series of long thesis that Martin Amidu will write and I haven’t heard Nana Konadu talking about it; perhaps she was also paid judgement debt so she doesn’t see the need to talk about it” he said during a panel discussion on Radio Gold’s Alhaji and Alhaji, Saturday.
Former President and founder of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Jerry John Rawlings and former Attorney General, Martin Amidu are known to be strong critics of the NDC.
They were a thorn in the flesh of their own party as they consistently attacked members of the erstwhile Mahama administration of being corrupt; a phenomenon some believes led to the party’s defeat in the 2016 elections.
Murtala Mohammed, commenting on the controversial A-Plus corruption allegation and its turn of events, indicated that the ruling administration has made history by being the first “government that is engulfed in profound allegations of corruption less than a year into its administration”
“…what is made known is the disrespect and alacrity with which functionaries of this government are corrupt. Yet people will come and tell us that Nana Addo is incorruptible…please those stories be told to the marines…there is no doubt in anybody’s mind that this government in unwilling, unprepared and is not going to do anything about corruption,” he added.

Some of these small boy Northerners think because of megathief John Mahama, the ndc belongs to them and that they can talk anyhow as if under the influence of akpeteshie. Let it be known to this horrible guy that the ndc party has moved on from indiscipline and insults to the hands of real party members who are poised to kick all them from the party. This is a guy who was rejected by his own constituency because of his mental problems. The ndc will remain in oppsition for a long time to come because of animals like Murtala.
This fooI should stop disturbing our ear with non sense blabs.
You, can't you talk? Why do you want others to talk? NDC's corruption was not hearsay, it was broad daylight robbery. We are even still seeing it in the bus branding. So trying to equalise by claiming NPP is also corrupt will not wash, bring the evidence. At least for the bus branding, we did not rely on hearsay. So if there is something you can point to, do so
WAIT , YOU ARE THE NEXT TO FACE THE PROSECUTOR, SO NO PROBLEM. WHEN YOU FACE THEM YOU CAN EXPLAIN WHERE, HOW AND IF YOU ARE TELLING THE TRUTH.......YOUR TIME OF PROSECUTION IS NOT FAR
NDC just talk for talking sake. Where is the corruption in Nana Addo's gov? Wait till the special prosecutor come and you will see your Mahama will sleep!
U have said it all. Rawlings is really scared of Nana so he cant talk.Thanks Murtala we need men like u. Not hypocrites.
You come nowhere near the integrity of the very people you are accusing of being silent on your so-called corruption. The former president, His excellency Mr. Rawlings and his wife together with Mr. Martin Amidu are very odjevtive people who attack issues and not personalities unlike yourself. Some of you are politically blind that you make unecessary noice where there is no need. Objective people talk only at the right time.
Mutarla if you have evidence that there is corruption in this government go to court with your evidence and stop all these non sense. we are fed up with your stupiddity" If it is not politics in ghana which is cheap who are you Mutarla to question papa J and Martin on corruption fuuuuuuuulish boy
Murtala,wait and see when we start prosecuting corrupt officials of ndc then u will realize that the government is serious about dealing with corruption. And what did I hear u condemn the operatives of the government with, "disrespect"? U were the worst offender aside Ablakwa, Kwakye Ofosu, Otokuno, and Omar Boamah. U now see respect as a vitue that must be upheld by government officials? U did not respect anybody in Ghana including ur own party folks. U aren't seen anything yet. Good day
This is loose talk. From the discourse that is going on, where is the corruption that you are complaining about ?Martin Amidu and Co are quite because there is nothing to complain about. Your desperate attempt to tag the government as corrupt in order to equalise would not wash .
