Conviction of ex TOR MD over AKSA deal: What did Special Prosecutor do about the Ghanaian component? - Kpebu asks
Mr. Kpebu says that assistance does not explain what action Ghanaian authorities took against persons or institutions connected to the alleged wrongdoing in Ghana.
Former Tema Oil Refinery Managing Director Asante Berko was convicted in the United States for his role in the AKSA power plant transaction. However, former private legal practitioner Martin Kpebu is seeking clarification from the Office of the Special Prosecutor regarding the handling of the Ghanaian component of the corruption case.
Kpebu's concerns arose after the OSP stated that it had assisted U.S. authorities in their investigations, but he wants to know what actions were taken by Ghanaian authorities against those involved in the alleged wrongdoing in Ghana.
Kpebu expressed doubts about the public's trust in the OSP and called for greater transparency and oversight in the investigation. He emphasized the importance of ensuring an impartial and independent probe into the transaction, stating, "Once he was assisting, what did he do about the Ghanaian component?" Kpebu urged the relevant information on the case to be made public, adding, "Bring it out" so Ghanaians can understand the investigations conducted and why the matter was not pursued more aggressively.
