Aksa $1m bribery scandal: We need an independent investigation into this matter - Kwarteng

Kwasi Kwarteng, a member of the communications team for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has called for an independent investigation into the Aksa energy bribery scandal, stating that the focus on persons of interest is attempting to undermine the severity of the matter. The Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, has identified several individuals as persons of interest, including Kwabena Donkor, Francis Walkson Kwesi Dzata, Solomon Adjetey Sowah, Lyndon George Nii Saul Mettle, and Baffour Ankoma Brobbey, among others.

Agyebeng emphasized that being a person of interest does not automatically imply guilt and that the OSP's investigation is ongoing for both the Ghanaian and international dimensions. The US jury in Brooklyn, New York, convicted Asante Kwaku Berko for his role in the bribery scheme involving the Aksa Enerji Uretim A.S. deal.
