In an interview on Accra-based Adom FM, he said "If it is proven that you were indeed corrupt, why should I follow you?… I wouldn’t want to follow anybody like that."
He claimed that acts of corruption usually occur largely as a result of the failure of some ministers to review last minute contracts given them to sign.
"I have told my minister colleagues not to sign any document that is presented to them after 4:00 pm in the name of emergency…that’s where the corrupt acts are hidden."
