AKSA Scandal: Calls for public inquiry is a trap—Justice Abdulai to gov’t

A private legal practitioner, Justice Abdulai, has accused the government of using a public inquiry as a smokescreen to divert attention from the AKSA scandal. The call for a public inquiry, made by the opposition party, is a trap for the government, according to Justice Abdulai.

AKSA Scandal: A Call for Public Inquiry Seen as a Trap

A private legal practitioner, Justice Abdulai, has expressed his view on the recent call for a public inquiry into the AKSA scandal. Speaking on Accra-based TV3's Key Points, he stated that the call by the opposition party is a trap and that the government should not heed it.

Justice Abdulai believes that the government should instead act swiftly and decisively to ensure that the matter is nipped in the bud. He pointed out that the AKSA scandal originated during the current president's time in office and contributed to his massive loss in the elections.

A Swift Criminal Investigation Needed, Says Justice Abdulai

Justice Abdulai has called for a swift criminal investigation into the matter, which he believes is the best way to deal with the issue. He emphasized that the investigation should be holistic, involving everyone who has been involved with AKSA since its inception in Ghana. Justice Abdulai stated that if AKSA is rotten in the head, it is likely to be rotten in the heart and everywhere else, and therefore, all contracts entered into with the company should be looked into.

Government's Response to the Calls for a Public Inquiry

The government has not responded directly to Justice Abdulai's comments, but the opposition party has continued to push for a public inquiry into the AKSA scandal. The opposition party has argued that a public inquiry is necessary to uncover the truth behind the scandal and to hold those responsible accountable. However, Justice Abdulai's comments have raised questions about the government's intentions and whether they are using the public inquiry as a smokescreen to divert attention from the scandal.

The AKSA scandal has caused significant harm to the country, and it is essential that the government takes swift action to address the issue. Justice Abdulai's call for a swift criminal investigation into the matter is a timely reminder of the need for the government to act decisively to prevent further damage. The government's response to the calls for a public inquiry will be closely watched, and it remains to be seen whether they will heed Justice Abdulai's advice or continue to pursue a public inquiry.
