NDC MP in stealing charge

The Chronicle says Mr Felix-Appiah H. Twumasi, NDC MP for Sene in the Brong Ahafo Region, who joined 198 other colleagues to swear their oath of office to be Honourable Members of Parliament, was sacked by his employers, AFGO Export and Import Company at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA) for theft on June 26, 1996.

The paper says sources close to it revealed that Hon. Twumasi was sacked after the company discovered that he connived with a clearing Agency to remove some uncustomed goods valued at millions of cedis imported along with some pharmaceutical products.

He was then the Cargo Superintendent for the Import Warehouse and an Assistant to one Rhami, an Asian who is the Security Coordinator and Cargo Manager but is presently on leave.

The Chronicle also learnt that after he was removed from office, he then settled down as a clearing agent, an allegation he denied, saying that he became a consultant to a real estate developer
