The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has earned a wave of attention for what party officials describe as a clean and transparent start to their new administration. Dr. Rashid Tanko-Computer, Deputy Director of Elections and IT for the NDC, recently pointed out that the current government is nearly five months into its term without a single scandal.
According to Dr. Tanko-Computer, this early achievement highlights the party’s commitment to ethical leadership, an approach he believes is essential for restoring public confidence in government. He stressed that such a record isn’t accidental, but the result of deliberate efforts to promote transparency, accountability, and responsible governance.
He further emphasized that when citizens see their leaders operate with integrity, they are more likely to support government initiatives and engage positively in civic life. The NDC’s current stance, he said, reflects a long-term vision that puts national interest above political gain.
However, he acknowledged that sustaining a clean image requires more than good intentions. As the administration continues its work, he noted, there must be strong accountability mechanisms in place to detect and address any future misconduct.
The media, he added, plays a vital role in promoting transparency by responsibly reporting on government activities. Dr. Tanko-Computer urged journalists to help highlight good governance practices, rather than focusing only on controversies when they arise.
With this early record of a scandal-free term, the NDC hopes to set a new standard in Ghanaian politics—one where ethical governance is not a campaign promise, but a guiding principle. Whether the administration can maintain this course remains to be seen, but the first few months are giving both supporters and critics something to take note of.
