North Tongu Member of Parliament Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has said he has successfully filed two Right To Information (RTI) requests with the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) and the Registrar General’s Department (RGD) on Secretary to the Board of Trustees of the National Cathedral Rev. Victor Kusi Boateng.
In the true spirit of the rule of law and democratic accountability, he said, these two institutions owe the Ghanaian people urgent explanations for God and the country.
Mr Ablakwa has been making a series of allegations against Rev Kusi Boateng.
Earlier, he presented what he described as “unimpeachable” and “incontrovertible” evidence against him.
According to the opposition lawmaker, Rev Kusi Boateng is the third “mystery” director of JNS Talent Cantre Limited, a firm he had earlier accused of receiving GH¢2.6 million illegal cash transfer from the Secretariat.
“Unimpeachable and incontrovertible evidence confirms that Mr. Kwabena Adu Gyamfi is the famous Rev. Victor Kusi Boateng who still serves on the National Cathedral Board as an Executive Council Member/Director,” he said.
For the avoidance of doubt, he added, there is no distinct Kwabena Adu Gyamfi. Kwabena Adu Gyamfi is a criminal creation of Rev. Victor Kusi-Boateng.
The two are therefore one and the same, he said.
“Rev. Victor Kusi-Boateng AKA Kwabena Adu Gyamfi thought he had outwitted every Ghanaian, particularly our authorities whom he dribbled for many years; but the day of reckoning is finally here.”
Mr Ablakwa further petitioned the Commission for Human Rights and Administrative Justice ( CHRAJ) to look into the matter.
But responding to him in a statement, Rev Kusi Boateng who denied the allegations said he looks forward to CHRAJ’s probe.
“I wish to assure the public that the statement made by Mr Ablakwa are a twisted narration of events to pursue a malicious political agenda. There has never been any criminal intent nor any crime committed in my dealings with the government of Ghana or National Cathedral,” he said.
