Attorney-General and Minister for Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, has disclosed a new scheme involving the payment of at least GHc 1.3 million every month by Ghana Water Company Limited into the private accounts of Kwabena Adu Boahen, former National Signals Bureau Boss. The payments were allegedly made under the guise of an internet provision contract by NSB.
According to Dr. Ayine, investigations have estimated that up to GHc 62 million was siphoned from Ghana Water Company Limited into Adu Boahen’s private accounts. The Attorney-General made this disclosure at a press briefing, hours after Adu Boahen was slapped with 11 charges in court.
Dr. Ayine also revealed that Adu Boahen, who is also the former Board Chair and CEO of GIIF, will be charged in respect of the $2 million Sky Train scandal next week. The Attorney-General’s disclosures have shed more light on the alleged corrupt activities of Adu Boahen and the government’s commitment to prosecuting individuals involved in corruption and financial impropriety.
