I get terrified hearing the wealth amassed in 8 years by people I used to buy fuel for— PNC’s Bernard Mornah

Leader of the People’s National Convention, Mr Bernard Mornah, has expressed concerns over the spate of corruption under the Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo government.

According to him, the people he used to buy fuel for over the course of eight years became billionaires not because they were running businesses, but because they occupied public office.

To him, it is worrying that a public office, which is meant for the public good, is used to enrich people.

“How did they make so much money that in 8 years, people who we could buy fuel for suddenly became billionaires? We are friends; we bought fuel for people. They simply became government appointees, and all of a sudden, those whom we were picking up in our wretched cars became so big.

Some of them are being tried, some of them are lecturers, and before they could come from their school to Accra, they called and asked for fuel. Some of them are in court and I don’t want to compound their problems, but when I’m called for evidence, I will tell them. We gave people fuel for people to come, and all of a sudden you sit down and you are terrified by the amount of money you hear, the wealth that they have amassed,” he stated while speaking on Accra-based Starr FM.

His comments come on the back of the exposè by the Attorney General on some corruption-related activities under the previous government.
