Ghanaians are thieves - Freedom moderator

The Palaver reports that it has been confirmed the CNN Johannesburg Bureau Chief, Charlayne Hunter-Gault who was the moderator of the Presidential Forum held at the Accra conference center on September 27, 2000 has referred to Ghanaians as thieves.

The paper says the name-calling according to their scouts has been due to the moderator's claim of having lost $17,000 at the hotel where she lodged during her stay in Ghana for the Forum.

According to the scouts, Charlayne claims she left an envelope containing the amount in the hotel's security vault during her stay, but when she went for the envelope, she did not check the content.

She is reported to have said that she went back to her hotel room only to realise that $17,000 out of what she originally put had been stolen.

The Palaver says its scouts have confirmed that a report has been made to the Labadi Police Station and investigations are continuing. A young lady, the Charlynes suspect has been granted Police enquiry bail.
