SOURCE: myjoyonline.com------Executive Director of the National Anticorruption Action Plan (NACAP) says they would be compelled to go to court to demand accountability from government over its failure to retrieve monies wrongly paid to individuals in judgement debt.

Mrs. Linda Ofori Kwafo is baffled at government’s lackadaisical approach to pursuing beneficiaries of such monies.

The anticorruption campaigner was speaking on the Super Morning Show, Tuesday, December 9, 2014 in connection with the announcement by Deputy Attorney-General Dominic Ayine government that Gh?14.5million had been retrieved as part of the illegal money paid to contractors of the Ghana Youth Employment and Entrepreneurial Agency (GYEEDA).

President Mahama at a conference organized by NACAP on Monday, also disclosed that about 300 people have either been convicted or are facing trial for corruption-related offenses in Ghana since 2013.

“It is disheartening…We need a breakdown of the information they put across there,” Mrs. Ofori Kwafo retorted. According to her, “ the GYEEDA case is small”.

She recalled the “good cases” won in court by former Attorney-General Martin Amidu in which individuals and organisations that benefited from such wrongful payments were ordered by the Supreme Court to return the monies to the state.

The Supreme Court in June 14, 2013, ordered Waterville Holdings Ltd. to return to the state in excess of 21million Euros obtained illegally arising out of claims it brought against the state in 2009. A week after, the court again ordered businessman Alfred Woyome to refund a total of Gh?51.2 million judgement debt payment he received between 2009 and 2010.

The Court in another landmark judgment on July 29, 2014, ruled that Spanish-based Company, Isofoton pay back to the state a total of $325,472 and the interest accrued on the amount since 2011- the year in which the monies were paid.

“The amounts involved are huge…we need such monies to move our economies forward and government officials are silent on them,” the NACAP Executive Director questioned.

“Civil Society Organisations want to make the recovery of such monies…they should give us the detailed breakdown for us to know the progress that we are making.

“We cannot go and collect the monies; the state has a responsibility…we need the resources,” she demanded.

She hints the Civil Society Organisations will not hesitate to choose the option of “going to court and demanding for accountability so far us government’s responsibility in the fight against corruption is concerned”.

“We have also signed onto the United Nations Convention Against Corruption, which actually mandates us to be able to recover stolen assets that have been hidden outside this country. If within the borders of our own nation we cannot retrieve monies then how well would we able to retrieve [stolen state funds lodged] in Swiss banks and the rest?

“It’s no wonder, therefore, when citizens say that…they don’t actually have trust and confidence in government’s ability to fight corruption,” she told Kojo Yankson, host of the Show.

Hammond, you are the most stupid foolish idiot in mother Ghana. If you know all these things, why are you now coming out with it? By the way, did the sale of such valuable assess pass through parliament? The question is not what motivated you criminals to sell it but who authorised it and how the money was disturbed and who is still keeping the remaining 3.5 million dollars and in which account and what for? You are a foolish criminal who will surely vomit that money. You claimed you gave the money to Kufour and your foolish denture smelling Akufo Addo. Now, you are saying you disbursed it among certain people. You haven't seen nothing yet. Buy enough medicine for your mother before they handcuff you mother fucker vulture looking beast. These are the characters shouting that they are incorruptible. Which parliament approved of the sale of that drill ship? But for the sole commission, Ghanaians wouldn't know that you people, npp has sold that ship and shared the money among themselves, just like you did to Vodafone. Are you people any better? The fact that you are mentioning people shows that you knew very well what you did. It's like I will not face it alone. Such characters led by a fake lawyer. Ghana will be doomed forever.

Me. K. T. Hybrid Hammond is one of the defenders of the Hybrid System that has led to a loss of more $6 billion to Ghana, in oil proceeds since 2011.

And Mr. Hammond is not a fan of the FOI bill, either.

N0msense. Account for the remaining money and stop the nonsense, It is only in Ghana under NPP that a single person will be given the power to sell state property. How can this fool pay $1 million to his former employers as legal fees. He duped Ghana using an old letter-head of the company for his corrupt act. Where is the remaining four million Dollars? Jail him.

But why did u take the responsibility and sold the ship while knowing very well that there were people who chop the money. the question is who sold the drill ship? Mr. Hammond went alone to sell the drill ship.

What is KT dreaming about? You were the Deputy Minister at the time and had Power of Attorney to take decisions on behalf of GNPC. You claim you had a list signed by the MD of GNPC at the time. You then proceeded to disburse an amount of $900,000 without any thorough due diligence! and you claim to be a lawyer?
Your government stayed on for eight years without you submitting your work to any public audit. Why didn't you probe GNPC at the time you were in charge?

It took the work of a Committee set up by the current government to bring out your greediness to light. The report has request you to be investigated! Instead of you bowing your head in shame for duping your country, you are now asking that the government probes the Board of GNPC at the time. Your sins have really found you out! Go and face EOCO and prepare to spend the rest of your days on earth in prison! Shameful KT. You have brought disgrace to our hometown!!

John Mahama is so desperate he has started misfiring and jumping and running all over the place.
What is amazing is the subtle attack on Tsatsu Tsikata with this GNPC probe, when Tsatsu Tsikata has already paid his dues and more, for this GNPC saga and some.
Under President Kufuor he was pardoned after spending some days in the cooler in the Cotton-grain scandal and under John Mahama, after the bribery and his so-called and supposed "legal wizardry" saw John Mahama being declared by Atuguba JSC, as having won the election petition and therefore duly elected.
So as to why he would go and bring this issue up again when in this matter, Mr. Kpodo was given the cheque after the ship was disposed off, from the "chacha" move Tsatsu Tsikata engaged in, should be quite unsettling for Tsatsu Tsikata, the legal-cum-oil derivatives wizard and Mr. Kpodo.
Has the NDC World Bank become wiser John Dramani Mahama has to resort to such brow-beating antics to get cajole them and get them in line?
Because every first year law student knows this probe goes piiiiiiieeeewwwwwwww directly to legal wizard Tsatsu Tsikata and Mr. Kpodo and this has left them scratching their heads. Will the NDC World Bank fall in line? It remains to be seen.
