  • Jirapa MP in court over fraud and money laundering

    Jirapa MP in court over fraud and money laundering

    Dr Francis Bawaana Dukura, Member of Parliament (MP) for Jirapa Constituency in the Upper West Region has appeared in court on charges of alleged fraud and money laundering.

    Dr Dakura is alleged to have collected GH¢3.5 million cedis equivalent of $900,000 between April 2016 and January 2017, under the pretext of selling a 2.8 acres of land belonging to the Ghana Museums and Monuments Board (GMMB) at Roman Ridge to the Chief Executive Officer of Prefos Company Limited.

    The MP pleaded not guilty to defrauding by false pretenses, falsification of accounts, forgery of other documents, uttering of forged documents and money laundering.

    The Court, presided over by Mrs Rosemary Baah Torsu has admitted the MP to bail in the sum of GH¢3.5 million with four sureties, one to be justified. The other sureties are to be of sufficient means and independent.

    The trial has been adjourned to December 16.

    Mr Francis Xavier Sosu, who represented the MP prayed the Court to admit his client to bail because he was a sitting MP.

    Mr Sosu said he did not see anything in the facts of Prosecution relating to the charge of money laundering.

    The Defence Counsel said at the right time, they will prove their innocence relating to the charges.

    He said because the MP was a family man and had a fixed place of abode and should be granted self-recognizance bail but this was declined.

    Mr Sosu said the civil aspect of the case was before another court and that they were on the verge of settlement.

    Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) Sylvester Asare, who led the Prosecution, did not object to bail but prayed the Court to attach conditions to the bail such that it would compel the accused to appear in court.

    Mr Asare said the complainant was Alexsie Kwasi Fosu, Chief Executive Officer of Prefos Company Limited, and that between April 2016 and January 2017, the accused collected the cash of $ 900,000 or equivalent of GH¢3.5 million for the sale of 2.8 acres of land at Roman Ridge.

    The prosecution said the complainant reported the matter to the police, which launched investigations and established that sometime in 2016, a witness in the case led the MP to the complainant and introduced him (the MP) as the Board Chairman of the Ghana Museum and Monument Board (GMMB).

    Mr Asare said the accused told the complainant that the GMMB has indicated its intention to sell 2.8 acres of its land at Roman Ridge through an affiliate company known as Heritage Fund for Arts and Culture (HFAC).

    The prosecution said police investigations established that the accused represented to the complainant that HFAC being affiliated to GMMB has been charged by the Board to oversee the sale of the said land.

    Mr Asare said the accused also told the complainant that the land was going for One million dollars including a facilitation fee of $100,000.

    The Prosecution said based on that, the accused demanded and received cedis equivalent of GH¢3.5 million in 2016.

    Mr Asare said the accused upon receipt of the money, indicated in two separate letters addressed to the complainant that the Project Implementation Committee (PIC) of HFAC had unanimously agreed to grant the 2.8 acre at Roman Ridge to him.

    The Prosecution said Police investigations later disclosed that the accused was not the Board Chairman of GMMB as he claimed.

    Mr Asare said “further, Police investigations also showed that HFAC was incorporated by the accused in May 2016 in order to mask fraudulent activities”.

  • Parliamentary candidates at Anyaa Sowutuom promise improved roads.

    Parliamentary candidates at Anyaa Sowutuom promise improved roads.

    Two Parliamentary candidates in the Anyaa Sowutuom Constituency have promised to provide improved road networks when voted into office.

    They are Mr Emmanuel Adotey Allotey, the Parliamentary Candidate (PC) for the National Democratic Congress, and Madam Joyce Larbie, the PC for the Convention People’s Party.

    They made these promises at a Town Hall meeting when they took their turns to present their policies and programmes to the constituents, ahead of the December polls.

    The meeting, organised by the Justice and Peace Commission of the Catholic Archdiocese of Accra, brought together opinion leaders and electorates to share their views on issues of concern in the constituency.

    Mr Allotey said he would provide basic social amenities including water, improved road networks, and drainage systems to help solve the perennial flooding in the area.

    “As a member of parliament, you have the primary role to market the challenges of your constituents and lobby for projects to be done,” he said.
    Mr Allotey, who is a banker, said he would establish an MP’s Credit Union for traders, especially market women, to help improve their businesses.

    He said he would group the 13 electoral areas of the Constituency into three and establish an MP’s office in each of them, where constituents could lodge complaints and challenges.

    Madam Larbie said if given the nod, she would implement a community skills training for the youth.

    The apprenticeship training programme would provide the youth, especially those unable to further their education, with alternative skills in sowing and catering among other things.

    Madam Larbie said she would introduce a constituency credit union to support the people, especially the aged.

    She promised to lobby for road projects, drainage systems and provide water connectivity if she became the Member of Parliament.

    Mr Ogochukwu Nweke, Vice President of Synergies Institute-Ghana, who was a guest speaker, entreated the electorates to be well informed on the duties and roles of parliamentarians so as to hold them accountable.

    He said a lot of people were not privy to designated roles of MPs and the Central Government, thereby making some politicians to take advantage and make promises outside their designated roles.

  • Bawumia lied on electricity extension in Bole District – MP

    Bawumia lied on electricity extension in Bole District – MP

    The Member of Parliament (MP) for the Bole- Bamboi Constituency Alhaji Yusif Sulemana has said that it is not true that there is an “ongoing Extension of Electricity at Chibrinyoa in Bole District” of the Savannah Region as said by the Vice-President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.

    Dr Dawumia made the assertion during his lecture last week to outdoor government’s infrastructure record and as well outdoor a website which captures government’s infrastructure projects across the country and their state of completion.

    Speaking on the morning show of Bole based Nkilgi FM on 27th August,2020 the Bole MP said; “The Minister of Energy Mr John Peter Amewu in answering my question on the extension of electricity to Chibriyoa and its surrounding communities was categorical. He said no any ongoing electrification works at Chibriyoa. Dr. Bawumia now comes to tell us there is an ongoing electrification works at Chibriyoa and so it is another big lie”.

    The MP for Bole-Bamboi Constituency said he has supported his comments on the issue with a video of proceedings on the floor of Ghana’s Parliament on 6th August, 2020 when the Minister of Energy was asked when the national electricity grid will be extended to Babato, Chibrinyoa Dugli, Bampewa, Agbadago and Tambang all in the Bole District.

    The MP said the Minister answered the question and stated; “The communities

    Babato, Chibrinyoa Dugli, Bampewa, Agbadago and Tambang do not form part of any of the ongoing projects currently being executed by the Ministry of Energy”.

    According to the MP the Energy minister further said; the “Communities have been noted and would be considered in subsequent face of the electrification project.

    Giving further details of the issue, the Bole MP said the electricification project at Chibriyoa and other communities on the Bamboi to Babato road started in 2007 by the NPP government under JA Kufour and was continued by the NDC government under John Evan Atta Mills and that the main lines were extended to as far as Babato which ends the communities on that stretch of road.

    Alhaji Yusif Sulemana said for some reasons the contactor left site and some of the main poles got burnt and that the Contactor returned to site but wanted government to recost the project.

    Alhaji Yusif said the MP he succeeded assisted with poles for the project to continue but the project was not completed when NDC left power.

    “As the sitting MP I took it up, went to the ministry several times and was promised the work will be completed. It was at my last visit that I was told the ministry has no plans to complete the work. I decided to bring this to public notice henced asked the minister a question on the floor of parliament on when the project will be completed; the MP said on Nkilgi FM.

    The Bole MP also said the answer of the Minister on 6th August, 2020 was emphatic that there is no any ongoing electrification works at Chibriyoa.

    “Surprisingly, Dr. Bawumia two weeks later reported to the whole world that work was on going at Chibriyoa. I called the assemblyman to verify Dr. Bawumia’s claim and it turned out that no such work is on going”; Alhaji Yusif disclosed.
