The Alliance for Social Equity and Public Accountability, ASEPA has filed a writ of conflict of interest in the infamous Agyapa Royal deal which according to the ruling govt, would secure the country’s minerals for development.
ASEPA believes, the deal is not in the best interest of the nation per the finding os the Office of the Special Prosecutor.
Below is the full release
The Alliance for Social Equity and Public Accountability, ASEPA has filed a petition of Conflict of Interest, Procurement Violations and Tender Rigging against Ken Ofori-Atta Finance Minister and major shareholder of Databank, Gabby Asare Otchere Darko of Africa Legal & Associates, and President Akufo Addo over the revelations of corruption and conflict of interest in the OSP Corruption Risk Assesment Report.
This is because ASEPA believes that the Special Prosecutor Mr.Martin Amidu demonstrated astute incompetence when his outfit referred the report on the corruption risk assessment to the office of the President.
If the OSP has uncovered procurement corruption and conflict of interest in the Agyapa deal what stops the OSP from launching a full scale investigations into the Transaction, find those culpable and prosecute them?
But instead INCOMPETENT Martin Amidu referred the report to the President who is also conflicted in this transaction.
It is on this note that ASEPA has taken the pain to petition CHRAJ who is also seized with enough powers to investigate these issues to commence a full scale investigations into the Agyapa Deal using the OSP’s Corruption Risk Assesment Report as a lead.
We have therefore furnish CHRAJ with a copy the OSP report for appropriate action!
We pray CHRAJ does a diligent job on the matter.
