Dr. Paa Kwesi Nduom, of the Ministry of Economic Planning has filed a writ of libel at the Fast Track Court against Mr. Jojo Bruce Quansah, Editor of the ‘Ghana Palaver’ and the Revalap Publishers and Suppliers Limited, publishers of the paper.
According to the Ghana Palaver, the writ arose from matters, reproduced from a report on the findings of the Serious Fraud Office (SFO), in its investigations into irregularities, including cases of fraud and malpractices at the State Enterprises Commission, at a time when Dr Nduom was there as a Director.
Among issues dealt with were the means by which Dr Nduom obtained contracts from the SEC, including that of holding himself out as a representative of a Deloitte and Touche (USA), at the same time when he also claimed to be operating another Deloitte and Touche Consultancy, under which he undertook other contracts, under the same organisation.
A case of conflict of interest was also cited in the report.
