Aksa $1m bribery scandal: We're interested in the suspects, not persons of interest - Kwarteng tells OSP
The Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, has declared some Ghanaians as persons of interest in the AKSA deal.
Kwasi Kwarteng, a member of the Communications team of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has stated that the Ghanaian public is more concerned with the suspects in the Aksa $1m bribery scandal rather than persons of interest. According to Kwarteng, taxpayers are primarily interested in the identified suspects rather than individuals merely under scrutiny.
The Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyebeng, has declared several Ghanaians as persons of interest in connection with the AKSA deal. These individuals include Kwabena Donkor, Francis Walkson Kwesi Dzata, Solomon Adjetey Sowah, Lyndon George Nii Saul Mettle, and Baffour Ankoma Brobbey. Agyebeng clarified that persons of interest are distinct from suspects, and neither status implies guilt or conviction until proven in a court of law.
The OSP has been actively investigating the Ghanaian dimension of the scandal, with Agyebeng emphasizing that a conviction in a foreign jurisdiction does not automatically establish criminal liability under Ghanaian law. The US Department of Justice acknowledged the OSP's significant assistance in the case, stating that the investigation spanned multiple jurisdictions.
