The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has urged the government to take immediate action against individuals implicated in the bribery case against former Goldman Sachs banker and former Tema Oil Refinery (TOR) Managing Director Asante Kwaku Berko in the United States. The opposition party argues that the government should act on the US proceedings' information rather than initiate another investigation.
NPP Deputy General Secretary Haruna Mohammed emphasized that the US proceedings have established sufficient facts to warrant action against named individuals. He called on President Mahama to either resign or demonstrate transparency and decisiveness in addressing corruption allegations involving public officials and those linked to major government projects.
The conviction of Berko by a US federal jury in Brooklyn on bribery charges related to a power plant project has sparked renewed calls for Ghanaian authorities to investigate the extent of any involvement by local officials in the Aksa Energy power project.
