Useless NPP borlaweb, nothing has become widely known as airmed cocaine scandal. It is only this useless NPP borlaweb that is pushing this devilish agenda of labelling dishonest Ntim ForgeYour (story)s malicious allegations as a cocaine scandal (tarnishing some company's brand and the name of Ghana unjustifiably). Firstly, there has not been any cocaine in those aircrafts. Secondly, there is no scandal. There is only a malicious artificial 'storm' created in a teacup by another typical NPP liar Ntim ForgeYour (story)

We have to change the Ghana Constitution because it vested TOO MUCH POWER IN TANI AKUFFO ADDO-EASTERN REGION CRIMINAL AKYEM ABUAKWA ARROGANT TANI. AKUFFO ADDO STOLE GHANA £900 MILLION, HIS COUSIN KEN OFORI ATTA STOLE GHANA £400 MILLION. These Eastern Region tINY POPULATION made up of KROBOS, AKUAPIMS AND AKYEMS- the Krobos and the Akuapims VOTE for the NDC all the time. So the Akyems CAN NEVER win power and so they secretly linked themselves with the Ashantis to look big. HUNG AKUFFO ADDO HIGH.
Remove Akyem Abuakwa STOOGE Liar Bawumia, The Loser. There should NOT be another Northerner as President because President Mahama has taken that SLOT. We should NOT be afraid of the Northerners-CALL A SPADE A SPADE. The Northerners are OVER PAMPERED-NPP gets few votes from the North of Ghana and even Bawumia-who is a Northerner could NOT change it.
The LIES that brought the LOSER DRIVERS MATE-BAWUMIA TO THE NPP FLAGBEARERSHIP WAS THAT-BECAUSE HE IS A NORTHERNER-IF HE STANDS WITH PRESIDENT MAHAMA- THE NORTHERN REGIONS OF GHANA WOULD BE DIVIDED BETWEEN BAWUMIA AND PRESIDENT MAHAMA. BUT THE NORTHERN REGIONS OF GHANA VOTED OVERWHELMINGLY FOR PRESIDENT MAHAMA. SO THE DOCTRINE OF BREAKING THE 8 YEARS WAS AN AKYEM ABUAKWA LIES AND TRICKS-THE ILLITERATE CHAIRMAN WONTUMI DID NOT SEE. ASHANTI REGION SHOULD REPLACE BCHAIRMAN WONTUMI BECAUSE YHE IS NOT A STRATEGIC THINKER. ASHANTI REGION SHOULD ALWAYS BE THE KINGMAKER OF THE NPP LEADER BECAUSE OF THE VOLUME OR NUMBER OF VOTES NPP RECEIVES IN THE ASHANTI REGION. NO REGION IN GHANA, GIVE THE NPP THE SAME NUMBER OF VOTES AS THE ASHANTI REGION DOES. SO THERE SHOULD BE WEIGHTED AVERAGE OF VOTES FOR EACH REGION AS PER THE TOTAL NUMBER OF VOTES NPP RECEIVES NATIONALLY.
The reign of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo may have long been over since January 7, 2025, but the very people who helped him during his 8 years in office may not all been enjoying their ‘retirements’ so well, or so quietly.

And this is for reasons aligned to promises and what appears to be a robust aim by the John Dramani Mahama government, which took over from the past one, to prosecute any forms of corruption that arose during the former administration.

These formed part of campaign promises by John Mahama and his National Democratic Congress (NDC), coming into the 2024 Election, and so far, they have been determined on achieving that.

Caught up in that, have been a number of appointees of Akufo-Addo who have ended up several investigations, or, in simple terms, whose names have been linked to controversial wealth that people believe may be, somehow, corruption related.

In this GhanaWeb article, let us take a look at some of the appointees under Akufo-Addo whose wealth came into question, generating national conversations.

In each of these cases, something happened that brought their cases into the public light, prompting national discussions and great interest.

Eugene Arhin

Eugene Arhin was the Director of Communications at the Presidency under Nana Akufo-Addo for the 8 years he was in office.

In 2021, a divorce case with his wife made it into the public, where his wife was demanding for certain reliefs in the separation process.

As part of the things she listed, she made mention of some of the properties owned by Eugene Arhin and these revelations, in the eyes of the public, generated a lot of conversations.

For many, did the Director of Communications at the Presidency, Eugene Arhin, amass all that in a space of four years, or during his time in public office?

Gloria Assan Arhin, his wife at the time, prayed the Accra High Court to grant her divorce request and also give her a number of properties, including a five-bedroom residential property (which was intended to be the matrimonial home of the parties) situated on a two-plot of land lying at East Legon in Accra; a four-storey building comprising 16 separate flats/apartments situated on a parcel of land at Bubiashie in Accra which land was acquired from a family friend of the petitioner.

She also asked for a storey building being constructed which comprised of 16 separate flats/apartments situated at Tuba-Weija in Accra.

These were but just three of the over twenty properties she sought after as part of the divorce.

Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie (Sir John)

Sir John, a former General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), became the Chief Executive Officer of the Forestry Commission of Ghana until his death.

After his death, his will became public, generating another widespread conversation among Ghanaians. It involved a tall list of 75 properties, including houses, parcels of land, bank accounts, investments, businesses, guns and clothes.

His will also raised public concerns following the discovery that he owned lands at the Achimota Forest. This was also because President Akufo-Addo had, at the time, signed an Executive Instrument that said part of the Achimota Forest was no longer a forest reserve.

Critics said the move was a ploy to get the land into the hands of the ruling elite, an accusation the government vehemently denied.

Sir John’s ownership of parcels of lands at the Achimota Forest appeared to have heightened the deep-seated mistrust of the government and its actions.

Below are the properties as listed in the will of the late Sir John:

House on plot number GA54480 located in Ogbojo, East Legon, and acquired on February 12, 2018

House on plot number GA 55329 located at Oyarifa No. 2, acquired on May 11, 2018

Another 3-bedroom house on plot number TDA 4140 located in Mempehuesem, East Legon

A 4-bedroom house on plot number GA56838 located in East Legon and acquired on October 25, 2018

Kwabena Adu-Boahene

The last person in this list of Akufo-Addo appointees whose wealth have courted public conversations is the former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau, Kwabena Adu-Boahene.

He and his wife, Angela Adjei-Boateng, were recently detained by the Attorney General’s office following his arrest at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA).

Following his detention, Attorney General Dr Dominic Akuritinga Ayine revealed at a press conference on Monday, March 24, 2025, a list of properties acquired by both suspects since 2018.

This, he said, was established through painstaking investigations by the EOCO and the AG’s office, indicating that the properties acquired were bought using embezzled state funds.

Below is a breakdown of the properties and their estimated values under the couple’s names below:

1. No. 2 stream part drive, Mayfair Estates, LA, Accra which is estimated at $1,000,000 (valued at GH¢15,000,000)

2. No. 6 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates, LA, Accra

3. No. 7 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates, LA, Accra estimated at a value of $200,000

4. No. 8 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates LA, Accra estimated at a value of $97,815

5. No. 9 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates LA, Accra also valued at $270,000

6. No. 10 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates LA, Accra at $150,000, Additionally, another initial cash deposit of $500,000 was made to purchase 5 houses.

7. Vertex properties at Oyarifa Gated Estate Development. This consists of 27 houses each valued at an estimated cost of $295,000 (GH¢127,000,000).

8. Two properties in London

The AG further disclosed that an amount of up to GH¢39 million was allegedly diverted and embezzled by the suspects from the agency.

"GH¢39,462,480 went into Adu-Boahene and his wife's pockets from one transaction," the Attorney General said

The nano minority NPP empty barrels, in its desperation to feel relevant in today's Ghana, is trying all possible means to find a sticker on JDM. Still, they will woefully fail and deepen their woes. As drug lords and drug peddling form the foundation of their party, the NPP drug lords are afraid the NDC will replicate and take over their criminal business, which they use to haul gold, drugs, and money out of the country. The best defense is to attack.
One thing the NPP forgets is that NDC is a nationalist party that is bent on improving the livelihood and standards of living of Ghanaians. Any attempts to put clogs in the wheels of JDM's development agenda will be met boot for boot.

You're spot on Mr Thompson. Unless you want Ghana to be a failed state, or a banana republic, Whoever comes to comment here against ASEPA, is either dumb in the head, or simply diabolical. Which place in the whole wide world, will the government of that state or country allow these " Micky Mouse" minority to behave the way they are behaving? What do these nation wreckers takes Ghanaians for ? Here in the UK, that so called Rev, first would be suspended, the very day he said, he was not going to cooperate with the NIB. And that wouldn't be all, He will be standing before the law court by now being prosecuted. I will say it once again that, the government should be ruthless, but according to the law. So these Npp guys will know the level of where they stand now. What is so irritating, is that noise they're making, " We will never be intimidated. Who is intimidating who? They should wait, when ORAL start in full gear, they will know whether the damage they've done to Ghana through stealing, will mean intimidation." "Amanmofour"

Kwabena Adu-Boahene

The last person in this list of Akufo-Addo appointees whose wealth have courted public conversations is the former Director-General of the National Signals Bureau, Kwabena Adu-Boahene.

He and his wife, Angela Adjei-Boateng, were recently detained by the Attorney General’s office following his arrest at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA).

Following his detention, Attorney General Dr Dominic Akuritinga Ayine revealed at a press conference on Monday, March 24, 2025, a list of properties acquired by both suspects since 2018.

This, he said, was established through painstaking investigations by the EOCO and the AG’s office, indicating that the properties acquired were bought using embezzled state funds.

Below is a breakdown of the properties and their estimated values under the couple’s names below:

1. No. 2 stream part drive, Mayfair Estates, LA, Accra which is estimated at $1,000,000 (valued at GH¢15,000,000)

2. No. 6 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates, LA, Accra

3. No. 7 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates, LA, Accra estimated at a value of $200,000

4. No. 8 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates LA, Accra estimated at a value of $97,815

5. No. 9 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates LA, Accra also valued at $270,000

6. No. 10 Edith Avenue, Mayfair Estates LA, Accra at $150,000, Additionally, another initial cash deposit of $500,000 was made to purchase 5 houses.

7. Vertex properties at Oyarifa Gated Estate Development. This consists of 27 houses each valued at an estimated cost of $295,000 (GH¢127,000,000).

8. Two properties in London

The AG further disclosed that an amount of up to GH¢39 million was allegedly diverted and embezzled by the suspects from the agency.

"GH¢39,462,480 went into Adu-Boahene and his wife's pockets from one transaction," the Attorney General said

The truth pains but it healed. Just drawing public attention from the ECG missing containers. Arrest them all take their property from them if failed to pay for the containers and jail them.

I'm sure ASEPA is a wing of the NDC. I blame the useless media we have in Ghana which publish any garbage that any idiot throws out.
