The Chronicle says its investigations have revealed that a six member board of enquiry has been set up by the top hierarchy of the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF) to probe the former minister of Defence, Lt. E.K.T. Donkoh for ordering the purchase of tinned fish worth 1.308 billion cedis for the Ghana Armed Forces in the run-up to the December 2000 elections.
Senior military officers told the paper that they smell a rat and that the transaction was shrouded in secrecy and was contrary to laid down procedures by the Ghana Armed Forces in the procurement of food items.
The board has been tagged to investigate the circumstances leading to the procurement and supply of tinned fish by MYROC Food Processing Company Ltd to the Ghana Armed Forces (GAF).
