President John Mahama has reportedly directed the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) to investigate the official travels of former President Akufo-Addo during his tenure.
According to an Asaase Radio report, the president is demanding a probe into Akufo-Addo’s international trips in order to ensure accountability in state resource management.
During Nana Akufo-Addo’s tenure, opposition parties and civil society groups frequently questioned the high costs associated with his international trips.
In 2021, for instance, North Tongu MP Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa accused the former president of spending millions of cedis on luxury chartered flights rather than using the state-owned presidential jet.
These concerns led to demands for greater transparency and accountability regarding government spending on official travel.
Despite the government’s failure to officially comment on the latest development, many Ghanaians have aired their opinions on Mahama’s decision to investigate Akufo Addo.
Some argue that the NPP leader, as well as his MPs, should face prosecution for spending taxpayer money on luxurious goods while serving as president.
Others argue that Mamaha should be jailed for plundering state-owned property during his first term in government before being voted out in 2016.
