The former Tema East Member of Parliament (MP), Daniel Nii Kwartei Titus Glover, has alleged that the former Akufo-Addo deliberately chose not to prosecute some NDC Members of Parliament accused of receiving double salaries and businessman Ibrahim Mahama.
According to Titus Glover, several NDC MPs who allegedly received double salaries while serving in government were spared prosecution after senior members of the NPP appealed to Akufo-Addo in the interest of national peace and democratic stability.
Speaking in an interview which has resurfaced following the 20-year jail sentence of Chairman Wontumi, Titus Glover stated, “I was in Parliament for two terms. Haruna Iddrisu, Nii Lante Vanderpuye, Armah Kofi Buah… there were MPs who were taking double salaries.
“I know for a fact that when the government wanted to prosecute them, our own MPs in leadership had to go and plead on their behalf with the President. They said, Please, you know how democratic you are. Leave them. President Akufo-Addo agreed for the sake of peace and sanity in this country,” he said.
Titus Glover further claimed that Ibrahim Mahama was also not prosecuted after allegedly issuing cheques that were dishonoured after he had cleared goods from the port.
He highlighted that the former Akufo-Addo administration instead allowed Ibrahim Mahama to settle the outstanding debt rather than pursuing criminal charges.
Titus Glover stated, “When Ibrahim Mahama signed those cheques, he issued them after clearing his goods at the port, and the cheques were dishonoured. That alone should have landed him before a court.
“When we came to power, we said, No, he is a businessman, so let him make arrangements and settle whatever debt he owes. Why didn’t we send Ibrahim Mahama to EOCO?
“Why didn’t we hand him over to the police? We all live together, and we must build this country together,” he added.
It will be recalled that the double salary scandal reports emerged with about 48 Members of Parliament, who served as ministers under the then former President John Dramani Mahama’s administration, fingered for allegedly receiving double salaries.
The Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Police Service opened investigations into the claims; however, the CID later clarified that investigations had not been suspended.
The report had earlier suggested that 25 MPs were invited by the CID for questioning; however, further documentation indicated that nearly 48 former NDC appointees were involved.
The data revealed several ministers took double salaries between 2012 and 2016, with some receiving double payments monthly throughout their tenure, while others did so for shorter periods because of reshuffles.
Also, Fatimatu Abubakar, the former Information Minister in 2025, also made similar comments.
According to Fatimatu Abubakar, Akufo-Addo could have sanctioned the entire leadership of the NDC Members of Parliament (MPs) over the claimed double salary scandal, but chose not to.
Speaking on Movement TV on December 6, 2025, Fatimatu Abubakar stated, “When we were in government, there was the double salary scandal. They had more than fifteen MPs implicated and other issues.
If we had taken action, by now almost the entire front bench of the Majority would have been in Nsawam. But the President didn’t want that. How do you wipe out the leadership of a whole political party in the name of double salary?” she questioned.
“I have lost hope in Ghana because it is glaring that what is happening is politically motivated. I have heard the national chairman of the NDC listing all the top political appointments they will sack from the Chief Justice to the Electoral Commission,” she claimed.
Fatimatu Abubakar further criticised the NDC over its unfair treatment of former appointees of the erstwhile NPP government accused of corruption.
She highlighted that bail conditions for appointees facing corruption and related charges are excessively high.
