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.

Obama in his desire to fulfill his promises to his people has allowed a racist motivated decision to cloud his judgement and give us this unfair shameful gitmo ex cons so should also be ashamed of himself . Now i support Donald Trump . Instead of inviting us to join NATO so we boost our security they first offer us some useless Africom and now give us their terrorists that they themselves have difficulty in handling . It is noticeable that all nations that have joined NATO have prosperity because they have tolerable levels of corruption, Obama is a disappointment as again in total disregard for the cultural sensitivities and traditions of Africans is trying to force on us homosexuality instead of bringing us money for development as if fucking someones ass is the height of his wisdom. Hannah Tetteh must resign immediately. As for Mahama he is as Mugabe observed a total disgrace to Africa and for his Gonja people. He will be lucky if he makes it that far to the elections , right now Mahama should be impeached before he causes any more damage .We are fed up with his corruption and dangerous decisions . I hope a petition requesting a referendum can be organized so he hears the true voice of the people .Gitmo ex cons was the last straw its one thing stealing our money and another endangering the future peace of all Ghanians , Mahama must go now
