The petition asks the Commission to particularly ascertain the scope of works done on the house, the amount of money involved and the sources of funding for the said renovation.
The NDC minority named President Kufuor as the first respondent, Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Nana Akufo-Addo, second respondent, former Works and Housing Minister, Kwamena Bartels MP and former Chief of Staff, Jake Obetsebi-Lamptey as third and fourth respondents respectively.
The complainant, Hon. Bagbin contended that the application of public funds for the renovation of the president’s house was illegal and amounts to an abuse of office.
According to the petition, the acceptance of the donation has the potential of compromising and corrupting the presidency and the same sins against the strict provisions of Article 284 of the 1992 Constitution.
