A British company paid £1.2 million in bribes to senior Ghanaian officials to win £26 million in government contracts.
This happened during Ex President Jerry Rawlings administration.
That British company pleaded guilty in a UK court.
But guess what, not one of the Ghanaian officials who took the money has ever been charged in Ghana.
The company was Mabey & Johnson, a steel-bridge manufacturer based in Twyford, Berkshire.
They confessed at Southwark Crown Court in London on September 25, 2009. The judge was Geoffrey Rivlin QC. The lead prosecutor was John Hardy QC.
Mabey paid £470,000 directly into the personal accounts of the NDC government officials.
They then set up a separate £750,000 slush fund called the "Ghana Development Fund."
That fund was managed by three people: former First Lady Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings, former Finance Minister Kwame Peprah, and Baba Kamara, who was the NDC's Deputy National Treasurer at the time.
The court named the recipients and the bank accounts in open session.
Former Roads Minister Dr. Ato Quarshie took £55,000.
Senior Finance Ministry lawyer Dr. George Sipa-Yankey took £15,000 wired into his Midland Bank account on Hill Street, London W1.
Former Deputy Roads Minister Amadu Seidu took £5,000 wired into his Woolwich account in St. Peter Port, Guernsey.
Inter-City STC Chairman Edward Lord-Attivor and a man named Edward Attipoe took £10,000 each.
A Finance Ministry desk officer named Saddique Boniface took payments that included money for school fees.
Mabey & Johnson did not absorb any of this. They simply inflated the contract prices and Ghana paid for its own corruption.
The British court fined Mabey & Johnson £6.6 million and ordered the company to pay Ghana £658,000 as reparation. The directors of the company were later sentenced to prison in 2011 for the same scandal.
In Ghana, nothing happened.
Sipa-Yankey was Mills' Health Minister in 2009 when his name was read out in London. He was traveling with the President in the United States when the news broke. He resigned to "clear his name." CHRAJ later cleared him.
Today, in May 2026, Dr. George Sipa-Yankey is the Board Chairman of Tema Shipyard and Drydock Limited, appointed by the current Mahama administration to lead the turnaround of one of Ghana's most strategic state assets.
A British court named him for taking foreign bribes.
Sixteen years later, the Ghanaian state put him in charge of a shipyard.
Point To Consider: This Was Overlooked
P. Diddy announced a “king’s send-off” for Wallace’s funeral (March 18, 1997, Frank E. Campbell Funeral Chapel, 1076 Madison Ave, New York, NY 10028), attended by 2,000, including Lil’ Kim and Faith Evans, with a Brooklyn procession drawing 10,000 mourners. Burrowes reveals Combs billed $750,000 in costs (casket, security, motorcade) to Biggie’s estate, framing it as a recoupable advance against Life After Death royalties.
Wayne Barrow disputes this, claiming Bad Boy paid in full, but 1997 estate ledgers (filed in Brooklyn Surrogate’s Court) show a $620,000 deduction labeled “memorial services,” undisclosed to Voletta until 1999. Combs’ public grief televised on MTV News, March 19, 1997 netted Bad Boy a 15% PR boost, per Nielsen ratings, while the estate absorbed 80% of costs.
This financial sleight-of-hand, buried in opaque accounting, enriched Combs’ image as a loyal mentor while draining Wallace’s legacy. So he was really slick with this one.

Meanwhile, here is someone about to miss out on life-saving treatment because these 7 white American men and 1 token black man in Brooklyn, New York, told her that a certain form of medical treatment is a "sin," based on their interpretation of a portion of a book written 2,000 years ago by goat herders in what is now Palestine.
This idiot has probably never left Nigeria before in her life, and cannot locate Brooklyn on an unmarked map of the world. But a group of Muzungus in Brooklyn are making her decisions for her, up to and including whether she chooses to live or die.
And THAT is what it means to be colonised. Whether you have a fucking flag and national anthem or not.
You morons are still under occupation.
Sir Christopher Lee was a direct descendant of Charlemagne.
And in part the inspiraton for James Bond!
He was the only person on the Lord of the Rings set who actually met Tolkien.
Sir Christopher Lee (Saruman) wasn't just an actor. He was a cousin of Ian Fleming and the real-life inspiration for James Bond.
Through his mother's noble Italian Carandini family, he traced his ancestry directly back to Charlemagne, the 8th-century Holy Roman Emperor, a lineage so distinguished that Emperor Frederick Barbarossa granted the family the right to bear the imperial coat of arms in the 12th century.
He even released a symphonic metal album, Charlemagne: By the Sword and the Cross, narrating his ancestor's saga.
During WWII, he worked with the Special Operations Executive (SOE).
Decades later, he met J.R.R. Tolkien in a pub in Oxford. Tolkien gave him his blessing to play Gandalf. Although he ended up playing Saruman, he read the books once a year for his entire life.
He lived the fantasy before he acted it.
Their kids are at Lincoln Community School, GIS, Hermann Gmeiner, Al Rayan, and Co for reasons such as these. They're denigrating the integrity of the only exams your syto offers for political capital, and you're joining in. "Open thine eyes"
You tried shitting on an initiative that gave the average child a chance at good education...and you were rightfully dragged
Stop acting a clown trying to make it seem like you have been vindicated of some sort 👍🏾👍🏾
If you are not born in a family of the wealthy 1%, your surest chance of upward mobility (social, economic) is education. I can't hate on a policy that makes secondary school education accessible for all.
For a country where the majority of families are economically handicapped every three market days, there is an idiot trying to bastardise a pro-poor policy that makes secondary education accessible to all. I just can't understand that level of foolishness
In any serious jurisdiction, a significant collapse in student performance in an exam like WASSCE in just 1 year would trigger months of investigations and proper analysis. But this is Putogum Hwiegum, and the government agency responsible for managing pre-tertiary education has quickly issued a statement that offers no evidence and simply reinforces footsoldier talking points about having aided students in previous years to achieve higher grades. That claim alone is an indictment on the Ghana Education Service!
Rude Boy was pressured by Twitter users into arresting that lady, because left to him, I know he would never have done that. Now everyone is jumping on this “arrest trend” just to feel among. Elon Musk made this app a space for free speech, and suddenly people want to use the same incompetent and corrupt police and wike judiciary to silence others here.
One way or another, all of us are contributing to the damage in Nigeria.
