Mahama’s relative must be investigated over alleged role in AKSA deal – Manhyia South MP

Manhyia South MP Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah has called for a thorough investigation into the alleged involvement of a relative of President John Dramani Mahama in the AKSA Energy power project. Speaking on Joy FM’s Top Story, Awuah said investigators must establish the identity of the person described in United States court proceedings as a relative of Mahama, as well as their alleged role in the transaction.

He demanded clarification on the nature of the individual's relationship with Mahama, the company they were associated with, and whether they played any role in the approval of the AKSA project. Awuah also questioned whether the alleged relative received any payment and, if so, how much and for what purpose. The MP's call for an investigation comes amid renewed scrutiny of the AKSA Energy project following the conviction of former Goldman Sachs banker and former Tema Oil Refinery Managing Director Asante Kwaku Berko in a bribery and money-laundering case linked to the project.
