I shall never stop fighting for the 1,360 beloved constituents and fellow compatriots who have been left to languish in tents for a whole year following the disastrous 2023 VRA spillage.
They did nothing to deserve this.
No human being deserves this.
Generous Ghanaians, my partners and I did our best to construct permanent homes for 600 displaced victims in 7 weeks immediately after the disaster but we must not allow the government to get away with this gross negligence after many months of cruel dereliction.
We shall overcome, and build a Ghana with empathetic leadership that values the rights of all citizens.
For God and Country.

HOW THE SAME AKUFO-ADDO’S AMBULANCE SPARE PARTS CABAL USED DIFFERENT COMPANIES TO PROCURE THE 307 WILDLY INFLATED AMBULANCES IN A US$108MILLION HEIST
Unimpeachable, irrefutable and irreproachable parliamentary oversight has finally smoked out the hidden characters behind the procurement of President Akufo-Addo’s flagship 307 ambulances.
I can today authoritatively reveal that the same cabal behind the infamous, inflated, sleazy and unconscionable US$34.9million ambulance spare parts sweetheart deal are the same characters who were awarded opaque single-source contracts valued at a staggering US$54.3million to procure the 307 ambulances.
For the avoidance of doubt, the same President Akufo-Addo’s daughters’ business partners and close associates were the same guys hurriedly selected to import the ambulances under extremely shady and disgraceful circumstances.
My continuous diligent parliamentary oversight on this ambulance saga has additionally revealed that just like the outrageous spare parts sweetheart deal, the procurement of the 307 ambulances was also grossly inflated.
From page 2 (paragraph 4) of the of the Auditor-General’s Performance Audit, government officials told auditors that the 307 Mercedes Benz ambulances were procured at a total amount of US$54.3million. (Performance Audit attached).
This figure of US$54.3million is consistent with what then Special Development Initiatives Minister, Hawa Koomson repeated to the Ghanaian media.
Meanwhile, page 24 (paragraph 46) of the same Performance Audit states that a unit price of the ambulance is US$80,000.00. (Performance Audit attached).
At US$80,000.00 for one ambulance, the 307 ambulances should give us a total of GHS24,560,000.00 and not US$54.3million.
This really means that the procurement of the ambulances was unconscionably inflated by a scary US$29,740,000.00.
The wickedly padded figure of US$29.7million is more than the actual cost of all the 307 ambulances.
Even if you add a 10% insurance premium of US$8,000.00 per ambulance, the procurement of the 307 ambulances would still be inflated by a massive US$27,284,000.00. Note, however, the Auditor-General discovered that insurance premiums were not paid on the 307 ambulances.
It makes sense to conclude that the US$54.3million taxpayer funds spent by the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government should have provided Ghanaians with 678 ambulances and not 307. This is most criminal!
Painstaking parliamentary scrutiny has led to confirmation that this time, the presidential looting cabal used different companies to import the ambulances. They did not use the notorious Service Ghana Auto Group Limited.
The companies used by the presidential familial gang are: Elok Consult and Services Limited; BEFT Engineering Works Limited; Bluemix Company Limited; Prestige Era Company Limited; RDC Company Limited; Luxury World Auto Group Limited and Quality Suppliers and Builders Company Limited.
Instructively, a majority 6 out of the 8 companies were formed between April and September 2017 — the year Akufo-Addo became President of Ghana. All 8 companies have no track record and expertise in the importation of ambulances.
Elok Consult and Services Limited was incorporated on 25th July, 2017. The directors are Stephen Okoro, the man who gave President Akufo-Addo his first granddaughter, and another gentleman who used the name Solomon Okereke for the company registration.
Remember the politically exposed Stephen Okoro is also a business partner of Gyankroma Akufo-Addo. They have incorporated numerous companies together as I revealed in Part 2.
Further background checks on Solomon Okereke revealed that he is a direct brother of Stephen Okoro.
Solomon Okereke’s intercepted passport confirms that his full name is Solomon Okoro Okereke. (Intercepted passport attached).
It is not immediately clear why Solomon concealed Okoro when he was registering Elok Consult with his brother, Stephen.
Elok Consult was paid an
I convey sincerest gratitude to a celebrated and outstanding patriot, Prof. Kwaku Azar for agreeing to lead the legal team we have put together to draft a Private Member’s Bill expressly banning politicians and politically exposed persons from purchasing state assets.
“Unemployment has jumped to 14.7% from 8.5% in 2017, the highest level recorded in the history of the 4th Republic; inflation is above 25%, and the current interest rates range between 30% and 50%.
The exchange rate, which was previously at 4.00 Ghana Cedis to the US dollar, has crossed the 15 Ghana Cedi threshold, and there appears to be no end in sight to the deterioration of the cedi.
Despite this, the government remains unconcerned, unwilling to cut expenditures, and continues to spend more on creature comforts instead of investing in the transformational infrastructure that will propel this nation forward.”
Following the recent rains and windstorms, I have been assessing the impact on victims of the VRA spillage from the Akosombo Dam who continue to put up in tents some 8 months after last year’s disaster.
Considering the current heart-wrenching plight of these VRA spillage victims, I really wish my partners and I had the resources to construct additional resettlement homes for all spillage victims as we did earlier for 600 of their colleagues.
From my field assessment, it’s obvious the tents were not made for harsh weather conditions, long duration use, and do not offer adequate protection during rains and windstorms.
Due to the fact that more rains are expected, I have secured safe rental accommodation for the aged who are above 60 years.
The North Tongu MP’s office is currently relocating all these senior citizens to decent rented accommodation where they would not be required to pay rent and utilities for a year.
I have successfully mobilized resources from benevolent and compassionate Ghanaians who fully agree with my MP’s VRA Spillage Victims Free Rent Initiative as the best interim solution during the rainy season as we wait for the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government to carry out its obligations of constructing settlements and compensating the disaster victims.
For the non-aged who will be left behind in the tents, arrangements have been made for their evacuation to identified structures when heavy rains are forecasted.
With God on our side, we shall prevail. 🙏🏾 🇬🇭
I don’t know why people are in uproar over this. The Asantehene has established firmly by consistent practice that it is now part of Asante custom for the Asantehene to kneel down before the Whiteman’s god.
Please, he is not kneeling before the Priest. He is kneeling before a god. The priest is there only as the handmaid of that god.

Following the interdiction of staff at the Ghana Airports Company Limited over their alleged involvement in the smuggling of 8.5kg of cocaine through the Kotoka International Airport to Belgium by a Dutch National, it has come to light that a female employee of the Narcotics Control Commission, stationed at the Kotoka International Airport, helped her to outsmart the Airport authorities.
She has subsequently been arrested and detained for her involvement in the smuggling of the cocaine, which was intercepted at Brussels Airport in Belgium.
So let me ask: why didn’t the Prez Revoke or Relieve Hon. Dr. Stephen Amoah of his deputy ministerial portfolio at the Trade Ministry before his re-assignment to the Ministry of Finance? They’ll
never admit when they mess up but we shall continue to straighten them in the law
The older generation dey get haircuts, the future generations want to jakpa, the country is running into massive debt, the education and health sectors are in shambles, investors are running away. Our only crime was giving this man 8 years of our lives.
The youth of Sefwi Akontombra in the Western Region protested against illegal mining activities led by Chinese operators in their community.
They set fire to the equipment and structures used for mining on-site. The youth expressed frustration with the extensive land degradation and pollution of water bodies, which they believe endanger the community and its future.
However, 6 gunshots were fired and 3 people were injured during the process.

Most Ghanaians think that Ghana Card is the greatest thing since sliced bread. They don't know that they are being ripped off. The lack of awareness is a product of "State Enchantment". This essay is the first attempt to de-hypnotise the masses.
