A former deputy minister of communication, Felix Kwakye Ofosu has asked the Akufo-Addo government to begin prosecuting corrupt officials by starting with one of his own – the current Managing Director of the Bulk Oil Storage and Transportation (BOST) Alfred Obeng, before extending same to former officials of the Mahama administration.
According to him, Mr Obeng has been accused of siphoning fuel at BOST, a situation he believed requires thorough investigation and prosecution.
Mr Kwakye Ofosu’s comments come on the heels of hints by Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, Vice-President of Ghana that corrupt officials who served in the Mahama administration will soon face prosecution, saying, “Ghanaians will find out more soon as people are held legally accountable.”
The Vice-President dropped the hint in his response to former President John Mahama’s accusation that he brought President Nana Akufo-Addo embarrassment by awarding a $2.5million contract to local IT firm Vokacom to develop a “419” application called GhanaPostGPS to be used for the national digital addressing system, when that same app was available on Google for free.
In his response, Dr Mahamudu said, among other things that unlike the Mahama administration which was neck-deep in corruption, the Akufo-Addo government is above board.
