Mahama Vows to Scrutinize Government Contracts Above $5 Million, Establish Independent Value-for-Money Office

Former President John Mahama has pledged to intensify transparency and accountability in government procurements, promising to establish an independent value-for-money office to scrutinize contracts exceeding $5 million. This commitment comes as part of his campaign for the December 2024 general elections.

Mahama identified government procurement as a significant corruption conduit and vowed to create an independent office to review all procurements above the $5 million threshold, ensuring transparency, value for money, and strict adherence to national laws.

This initiative aims to restore public trust and ensure ethical governance, with rigorous measures taken to penalize corrupt officials and their accomplices, both within his potential administration and the current NPP government.

Mahama assured Ghanaians that his administration would prioritize accountability, transparency, and value for money, ensuring that public finances serve the broader citizenry’s interests.
