Former Attorney General Martin Amidu has asked former National Security Coordinator, Mr Yaw Donkor – who is protesting the circumstances under which he has been invited by the police to answer questions with regard to a $279.4 million contract – to stop “whining” and drink from his own “poisoned chalice” as karma has caught up with him.
Mr Donkor, in a petition dated July 26, 2017 and addressed to the Inspector General of Police (IGP), stated that although he had no hand in the so-called contract which was awarded to Messrs Santa Baron, he had received what he termed a “strange invitation” from an Assistant Commissioner of Police (ACP), Mrs Yaa Tiwaa Addo-Danquah.
According to Mr Donkor, Mrs Addo-Danquah had called him to give a statement with regard to the case but under the present circumstance and the refusal of the police to divulge information to his lawyers, he considered such posturing as “harassment.”
The petition, according to the Daily Graphic, said Mr Donkor explained that he had no knowledge or involvement in the said contract but Mrs Addo-Danquah told him he was to give a statement to that effect.
That notwithstanding, the petition noted that on July 19, 2017, Mr Donkor indeed received an official invitation signed by Mrs Addo-Danquah with the inscription, “Assist investigation into causing financial loss to the state.”
The petition noted that following the generic nature of the content of the invitation, Mr Donkor caused his lawyers to provide more information on the said project christened, “Improvement of Ghana’s Security Infrastructure.”
The response, the petition noted, stated that a report on the project from the Ghana Police Service dated March 2016 indicated that “the National Security Co-ordinator requested details from the Police Administration before sending same to the Interior Ministry for action”.
Mr Donkor’s petitioner stated that, “I am unable to comment on the whole of the police claims above because I had no knowledge of, or involvement with any project by the name given or the company in question but I state here categorically that the claim — the National Security Co-ordinator requested further details from the Police Administration before sending same to the Interior Ministry for action – is a total fabrication.”
