The Minister of Regional Integration and NEPAD, Dr Kofi Konadu Apraku has accused the SFO of pursuing a hidden motive to vilify and spoil his name in the glare of the Ghanaian public. “I voluntarily wrote to the Serious Fraud Office. If I knew I was involved, I will not have done it”, he said.
Speaking to newsmen in reaction to an alleged diversion on an amount of ?3 billion from Ghana Free Zones Board (GFZB) funds to set up a campaign office at Dzorwulu in Accra. Dr Apraku, who just returned from Maputo, Mozambique conceded that he used the Dzorwulu facility for a constituency office for a period of six months.
He, therefore asked where the sense of balance and judgement of the Ghanaian media had fled to, in making all sorts of allegations against him, and emphasized that the SFO report which the media had capitalized on was not true since the SFO itself had declared that it had not concluded its findings.
Dr Apraku therefore blamed the Serious Fraud Office for the leakage of information to the media, while it insists that that it has not completed its investigations.
