AUTHOR : ADJAPONG NTRA SAKYI------ Wise up Mr President. It's unfortunate that Ghana elected a dimwit as the president in the person of John Dramani Mahamah. The constitution of Ghana demand that when a sitting president dies his vice takes over. It's not in the constitution of any party in Ghana that after four or eight year mandate of the president his vice automatically becomes the next presidential candidate. So for John Mahamah to go about with the drivel that NPP did not allow Aliu Mahamah to succeed John Kuffuor shows the president as a fool or very much uninformed. Which is

Mahama is having sleepless nights because he knows he is losing and the consequences of that scenario are grave. How does he and his cronies answer to a properly constituted court of honourable judges. NSAWAM is waiting.

The Nsawam prison is being cleared out for the NDC gang of thieves. They are desperate and will say anything and do anything to hang onto power. However we are ready and will match them every step of the way.

The Mahama government is accused of effectively “stealing” $300 million from state coffers as they face their electoral fate in two weeks’ time at the December 7 presidential and parliamentary elections.

Evidence seen by the Daily Statesman shows that already $120 million has been inappropriately taken out of state coffers for this questionable project, which insiders see as a mere cover for cash to fund the ruling party’s electoral efforts.

It is officially a “contract for the improvement of Ghana’s Security Infrastructure Request’. That contract is valued at a huge US$297,475,628.00, which would be yet another big debt for a future government to struggle with after 2016.

The contract is ostensibly for, as stated, “various security equipment, surveillance systems, software and technical training…”

The shipment date for the said goods is stated as November 30, 2016, with China, Dubai, South Africa, USA, UK and Hungary stated as countries of origin.

A very concerned source at the Ministry of Interior disclosed, “There is no basis for this contract, and we know that it would definitely be a prime case for criminal investigations if there is a change of government this year. It is reckless, heartless and totally irresponsible.”

The company behind this deal is Santa Baron Ventures Ltd, which was set up in the UK just seven months ago, on April 19, 2016 in West Molesey, Surrey, UK. The men behind it are a Ghanaian, Kwabena Boateng-Aidoo, and two Britons, Martin Wightman and Daniel Wealthyland.

Sources at the Ministry of Finance suspect that the $120 million that has already been paid out for the project is actually to feed the electoral efforts of the incumbent president.

In a frantic effort to fill the fiscal gap left by the drawn down, the Controller and Accountant General Department on November 10, 2016 authorized the Bank of Ghana to establish deferred payment letters of credit.

The letter signed by Samuel Aryee, acting Deputy Controller & Accountant-General, and addressed to the Director of the Banking Department of BoG, reads: “you are hereby authorized to establish deferred Letters of Credit to the tune of US$297,475,628.00 in favour of Messrs Santa Baron Ventures Limited . . . On behalf of the Ministry of Interior in respect of contract agreement entered into with the above company for the improvement of Ghana’s security infrastructure.”

A deferred payment letter of credit is one that is paid a fixed number of days after shipment or presentation of prescribed documents. It is used where a buyer and a seller have a close working relationship because, in effect, the seller is financing the purchase by allowing the buyer a grace period for payment.

As to how a company set up just seven months ago, with characters of no known record in security matters, managed to win a contract valued at some GH¢1.2 billion equivalent and be considered as worthy of deferred letters of credit is puzzling to civil servants at the Ministry of Finance.

The main faces fronting this deal are Prosper Bani, the Minister of Interior, and Seth Terkper, the Minister of Finance. But, there are said to be three main higher characters actually pushing the levers behind these two ministerial persons.

Another letter dated November 3, 2016 and signed this time by Seth Terkper, authorizing the same deferred letters of credit, puts the maturity for the letters of credit at 2019, with six scheduled payments of some $50 million each from 2017.

“The amount should be charged to the 2017 budget of the Ministry of Interior,” the Finance Minister instructs.

A separate letter signed by James Agalga, Deputy Minister of Interior, dated September 23, 2016, gives some details: “The major condition to be fulfilled on the part of the Principal to enable the General Contractor to deliver as expected, is for the Ministry of Finance to issue an irrevocable deferred letters of credit to cover the entire contract sum of Two Hundred and Ninety Seven Million Four Hundred and Seventy-Five Thousand Six Hundred and Twenty Eight Dollars (USD 297,475,628.00) which is to be spread over three years in six equal instalments, payable between the year 2017 to 2019 as part of the Ministry of Interior’s Medium Term Expenditure Framework.”

Was Aliu Mahama not contested by 16 others after he had been vice President for 8 years? What is wrong with stating the facts?
