The vice presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Professor Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang, has challenged the ruling New Patriotic Party (PNP) to prove that the Mahama administration was corrupt.

He said that claims that members of the previous government were corrupt should be ignored because there has been no evidence of this.

Members of the PNP have accused the Mahama administration of being the most corrupt government in Ghana’s history.

Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, when he was running for Vice President in 2016, said that “the government of John Mahama is the most corrupt in the history of Ghana. Dollar for dollar, ceded for ceded, this government is the most corrupt in our history. And yet he tells the people of the North to vote for him because he is our brother.

“Why does your government steal from Northerners if you care about Northerners and why do you want us to give you another chance to steal more from the people you say you are trying to protect?” I ask.

But speaking in an interview with Berla Mundi on the Elections 360 program on Monday, November 9, Professor Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang said: “If they say that the NDC has been corrupt, we have been out of power for four years, where are the judgments? Where are the test closures? “

Furthermore, he asked the Minister of Education, Dr. Matthew Opoku Premeph, not to be selective in his analysis of the legacies of the Mahama administration in the education sector.

According to her, the Mahama administration achieved many successes in the Ministry of Education.

His comments come after Dr. Opoku Prempeh painted a grim picture of the education ministry led by Professor Opoku-Agyemang.

He described the bills left by his predecessor as “huge.”

The Manhyia South member of parliament told the House on Tuesday, August 11, while presenting a statement on education reforms and teacher training since the New Patriotic Party (PNP) took office that “we comply with huge pending bills. under the leadership of Professor Jane Naana Opoku -Agyemang as Minister of Education, on key supplies for the provision of educational services ”.

“There was a pending invoice of approximately GH ¢ 9 million in Capitation Subsidy, GH ¢ 4 million in Food Subsidy for Special Schools, GH ¢ 14 million in exercise books for basic schools and GH ¢ 4 million in the supply of school uniforms. among many others.

“In addition, there were delays in the disbursement of the Training and Food scholarships for Special Schools, affecting the effective operation of the schools. Within the period, the government has cleared all the arrears and guaranteed the timely delivery of capitation and food grants for special schools, ”he said.

But Professor Opoku-Agyemang told Berla Mundi that: “We had left a lot of money at the Ministry. There are so many things in the delivery notes. You can choose what you want to wear and share with the public.

“How was the Universidad del Este built if we didn’t leave money? The Universidad del Este, how was it built?

“I also want to urge all of us to do a little research to find out who got that money. We left a lot of money and I will use that as an example. I will say we did the best we could, ”he said.
