Ghanaians react on social media:
Owusu Adomah Joshua: I think there’s no need for any party to defend any indefensible….let the law takes it course… Corruption must not entertain in any form in Ghana again, so I will advise and encourage both NPP and the current NDC appointees to learn something from what’s happening now to guide everyone in the future.
Alirauf Abdul: See thieves ooooo,npp never again
Isaac Littleton Obo-Anderson: Nobody will leave ooo. You go stay p33.
