AFAG calls for probe
Alliance for Accountable Governance has called for a probe into allegations that embattled Betty Mould Iddrisu, former Attorney-General and Minister Justice owns a fat bank account at the Barclays Bank in the United Kingdom.The AFAG leadership is therefore calling on the government to investigate the true owner of the said account number which is 20756821, Loughton Esses branch in UK.
Speaking at a press conference, Abu Ramadan, Director of Operations of AFAG, claimed that over one million pounds sterling was allegedly deposited in Betty’s account whilst she had also acquired three properties within the period she was in government.AFAG has also given a five-working day ultimatum to government to arrest Betty-Mould Iddrisu, Kwabena Duffour, Finance Minister, and Ebow Barton Odro, Deputy Minister of Justice and Attorney-General for prosecution over their involvement in the payment of GH51million judgment debt to Alfred Agbesi Woyome, NDC financier.
Abu Ramadan warned that if the government failed to take action against these persons, AFAG would embark on demonstration to ensure that the principle of equity, accountability, equality and justice for Ghanaians were attained.
Touching on the fresh charges against Alfred Woyome, AFAG spokesperson maintained that the new charges remain a façade and that the group was not surprised because the NDC government had not shown any seriousness to prosecute the case.
Taking a swipe at the International Monetary Fund, AFAG was of the view that the global organization means no good for Ghanaians as it is only interested in giving out loans but not how they are applied to the benefit of the citizenry.
The political pressure group wondered why the IMF was yet to speak on the judgment debt saga but rather chose to advise the government to remove fuel subsidies and consequently increase fuel prices.
