Report any form of corruption – Finance Minister-designate to investors
He said that corruption will no longer be tolerated in Ghana and promised that the NPP government will run an administration free from corruption.
He said the Nana Addo-led government is bent of fighting corruption since “it is sometimes 3-5 percent of GDP, in terms of cost.”
Ofori Atta was speaking to some business operators at the Ghana-Morocco Economic Meeting in Accra.

He went on to say that: “we’re going to run a government that is clean, and please report anything you find. It takes two people to do it; both the person coming in and the person here to receive it”.
He also announced that government would by the end of this year, introduce the fiscal Stability and Fiscal Responsibility Acts “just to ensure we stay within the ambit of sustainability and avoid excessive deficit”.
One of the issues that the NPP campaigned on ahead of the election last year, was the mismanagement of national resources by public officials.
He argued that NPP government is committed to increasing revenues of the country. He said they will ensure that “our expenditures are value for money driven”.
