Former President John Mahama Demands Investigation into AKSA’s Ghana O

Private legal practitioner, Justice Abdulai, has called on the President of Ghana to investigate the activities of AKSA in Ghana. The call comes after a former Goldman Sachs Group Inc banker, Kwaku Asante Berko, was convicted for paying more than $1 million in bribes related to the development of a power plant in Ghana.

AKSA's Activities Raise Concerns

According to Justice Abdulai, the activities of AKSA have cost Ghana so much that a criminal investigation into their activities must put several issues to rest. Speaking on Accra-based TV3, Justice Abdulai emphasized the need for a swift and decisive action from the President to ensure that the matter is nipped in the bud.

"My call is for the President to act swiftly and decisively and ensure that this matter is nipped in the bud because this originated at the time he was President," Justice Abdulai said. "This was part of the issues that culminated in his massive loss. This matter has caused us so much, and I think that it has to end in his time."

AKSA's Bribes Exposed

The call for investigation comes after Kwaku Asante Berko, a former Goldman Sachs Group Inc banker, was convicted for paying more than $1 million in bribes related to the development of a power plant in Ghana. Berko was accused of bribing high-ranking government officials in Ghana to secure the lucrative power plant deal for a client.

Prosecutor Katherine Raut told a federal jury in Brooklyn, New York, that Berko and his associates paid more than $1 million in bribes a decade ago to approve the development and financing of the multimillion-dollar power plant.

President Under Pressure

Justice Abdulai's call for investigation has put pressure on the President to take action against AKSA's activities in Ghana. The President's office has yet to respond to the call, but sources close to the matter indicate that a decision is being considered.

A former Managing Director of the Tema Oil Refinery (TOR), Kwaku Asante Berko's conviction has raised concerns about corruption in Ghana's energy sector. The power plant deal was one of the most lucrative in Ghana's history, and the allegations of bribery have sparked widespread outrage.

The President's response to Justice Abdulai's call will be closely watched by the public and the international community. A swift and decisive action from the President will be seen as a step towards addressing the corruption in Ghana's energy sector.

In the meantime, the public is demanding answers about AKSA's activities in Ghana. The President's office will need to take a strong stance against corruption to restore public trust in the government. The fate of AKSA's operations in Ghana hangs in the balance, and only time will tell if the President will take the necessary steps to address the corruption.
