Former Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee of Parliament, Albert Kan Dapaah, has said the presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party, Nana Akufo Addo is capable of fighting corruption.

“From all that I know about Nana Addo, his stance on corruption from the day that I first met him – he is very serious about fighting corruption and I believe he is capable of stopping corruption," Kan Dapaah said on Accra based Kasapa FM.

Corruption has become topical as the November polls draw closer.

President Mahama has been criticised for shielding alleged corrupt government officials and inflating contract sums.

He has denied all corruption charges, saying the issue of corruption has become topical because he is "exposing" the practice.

But Kan Dapaah noted that as far as corruption is concerned, president Mahama has failed to fight it.

"Unfortunately, he said, "president Mahama has had the chance to fight corruption and I am saying that today I am totally dissatisfied with his fight against corruption in this country.”

“As far as corruption is concerned, he has failed,” Kan Dapaah emphasised.
