Probe officials linked to US-convicted former TOR MD – Anti-Corruption Campaigner
An anti-corruption campaigner, Edem Senanu, has called on the government to intensify investigations into Members of Parliament and public officials allegedly linked to the case involving former Tema Oil Refinery Managing Director, Asante Kwaku Berko, who was recently convicted in the United States for his role in a scheme to bribe Ghanaian officials. According to […]
Anti-corruption activist Edem Senanu is urging the government to intensify investigations into Members of Parliament and public officials connected to former Tema Oil Refinery Managing Director Asante Kwaku Berko's US-conviction. Berko was recently sentenced for his role in a scheme to bribe Ghanaian officials. Senanu believes this case offers a significant opportunity for Ghana to show its commitment to fighting corruption by thoroughly investigating all individuals referenced in the case.
He urges the Office of the Special Prosecutor and the Attorney-General’s Department to work together to ensure a proper examination.
Former Deputy Attorney General Alfred Tuah-Yeboah has cautioned that neglecting to investigate those mentioned in the case could undermine the government's dedication to combating corruption. He emphasized that accountability must be applied uniformly, regardless of one's position or political affiliation, and that decisive action by authorities would demonstrate Ghana's seriousness in the fight against corruption.
However, former Ranking Member of Parliament’s Energy Committee K.T. Hammond expressed outrage over the allegations. He questioned the level of bribery required to compromise his credibility and integrity, asserting that his reputation and integrity are not up for sale. Hammond stressed that any accusations against him should be subjected to thorough scrutiny and supported by concrete evidence.
