Gizelle Yatzi Agrees Terms With Govt

• As She Targets Kufuor’s Foreign Banks Accounts

Investigative Desk Report

Confidential government sources have hinted The Informer newspaper that the administration has entered into discussions with Madam Gizelle Yatzi and have concluded terms with the woman who claims to possess overwhelming evidence that exposes the much-talk-about corrupt dealings of ex-President John Agyekum Kufuor.

Sources within the intelligential revealed that Madam Gizelle Yatzi accepted the conditions that were put forward by the state agents, in ensuring her safe arrival, security, accommodation and proper forum for her testimony, as a witness.

Information gleaned on by The Informer indicates that the last meeting with Madam Yatzi and her team ended last week with both parties satisfied with the plans put forward to ensure Ghana comes to terms with the actual facts surrounding the culpability of the ex Ghanaian leader in various money transfer and lodgement cases that Madam Gizelle Yatzi has accused him of being the beneficiary off.
According to sources in the United States, Madam Yatzi recounted in detail her knowledge of some of the secret foreign accounts opened and managed by ex-President Kufuor.
Some of the accounts for which Madam Yatzi provided documentary evidence of is said to have come to her knowledge when she had to transfer monies into, during the period she was working as an international financial consultant for the Ghanaian government.

Deep throat sources told The Informer that Madam Yatzi had such knowledge and documentation as a result of transfers she was authorised to make into such accounts, which she responsibly deducted from loans and other financial facilities she applied for, won and brought to Ghana.
The deductions, according to the documents were made just before the lump-sum was supposed to hit the accounts of the Bank of Ghana.
Backed with documentary proofs, Madam Yatzi surprised the Ghanaian agents with her meticulous assembly of documents and record keeping which included dates, times and venue of meetings including her instructions.
The meetings was arranged by agents of Madam Yatzi, after Brigadier General Nunoo Mensah, the National Security Adviser had sharply responded, by accepting conditions put forward by Gizelle Yatzi, in her last interview with Radio Gold, for which reason her calls for adequate security was responded to.
Brig. Gen. Nunoo Mensah, in responding to Madam Yatzi’s plea for security, announced his readiness to put the Airforce, the Army, the Navy, the Police and Secret Service on duty, with the sole command of ensuring the total safety of Madam Gizelle Yatzi, should she choose to come to Ghana, more especially to help Ghana resolve the myth around that scandal.
Madam Gizelle Yatzi shot into prominence in 2005 when she alleged among many others that she was a former mistress of the then Ghanaian President, who according to her owned the plush Hotel that shares wall with his private Airport residence.
According to Madam Yatzi she did act on behalf of her boyfriend (President Kufuor) and sat through the negotiations. She insists that she was instructed by her ‘honey-tomtom’ to represent his interest, which was later transferred to the son, Chief Kufuor, in order to outwit the Ghanaian populace.
Her role in negotiating a price for the hotel, with the then owners has been admitted, publicly, by agents of the former owners of the Hotel.
