Where Was Asabee Running Away To?

Are The Criminals Beginning To Attempt To Run Away From Their Crimes?

Stephen Asamoah Boateng, aka Asabee; where was he running away too?

Asabee; what was he running away from?

What is it that was making Asabee attempt to bolt from town with his whole nuclear family?

One of the rich Yoruba proverbs has it that “if you see the toad hopping in broad daylight, then something must really be chasing it”.

If the loud-mouth Asabee decides, to take his 4 year old son out of school and attempt to run away with his wife and two kids in the middle of the night, then it something frightening must be getting very close to Asabee.

If Asabee was making all kinds of noise when Kwadwo Mpiani was invited for questioning by the BNI, Asabee must have been doing so knowing that once the long arm of the law was getting close to a “big fish” like Mpiani, then he, Asabee, a small fish, would not escape from the law.

Stephen Asamoah Boateng, the man who told Ghanaians to eat unripe mangoes, kokonte, and drink gutter water, is obviously in very hot waters.

Asabee is in very hot waters and it does not seem like his noises on radio will save him from answering very legitimate questions.

It was not a secret that John Agyekum Kofi Diawuo “50 Cents” Kufuor, presided over the most corrupt government ever in the annals of Ghana’s political history, and with Ghanaians having voted for CHANGE, the chickens are coming home to roost and we are getting a clearing picture of the extent to which Kufuor and his looting brigade looted the coffers without let on hindrance.

When campaigning to retain his Mfantsiman West seat, Asabee did not hide the fact that he had a lot of cash to throw around.

Indeed, in order to be retained as the NPP candidate, Asabee succeeded in camping almost all the delegates in a very plush hotel, and paid them about 10 million each.

After succeeding in buying his candidature, Asabee then moved his vote buying notches higher and attempted to buy the whole constituency.

Asabee stopped at nothing as he made sure that, TV’s, DVD’s, sugar, rice, cooking oil, and other stuff flowed “waa waa waa” in the Mfantsiman West constituency. Of course, Asabee lost the seat because the people had had enough of his arrogance and voted massively against him.

Asabee is the proud owner of a fantabulous mansion in his constituency.

Asabee, who was a known taxi driver in the back streets of London and was struggling with his wife (whom he divorced after he came by his newfound wealth and the newfound wealth introduced him to young teenage girls) to make ends meet, is now one of the rich people in Ghana.

Together with his boss Kufuor, Asabee and co enriched themselves with state monies.

Today, Asabee is running away because he knows it for a fact that he has lots of questions to answer.

If it is true that Irene Lorwiah, Asabee’s sister-in-law who is alleged to have been awarded a dodgy contract by the Information Ministry under the watch of Asabee, is denying knowledge of any such contract, then Asabee must tell us who he awarded the contract to.

Did Asabee award the contract to himself and used his sister-in-law’s company as a cover up?

Did Asabee award the contract to his wife, and used his sister-in-law’s company as a cover up?

Then again; how many such dodgy contracts did Asabee award during the 8 year period that he was a government official?

Of course, Asabee’s deputy, Frank Agyekum, sung like a canary when he was invited to the BNI and so we know that Asabee is damn hot and will not escape from justice.

If at the time he was a mere hanger-on at the Castle, Asabee had the power to dismiss Mr. Hodari Okine from the Immigration Service, then it stands to reason that as a Minister of State, he could have abused the power he had and issued many such dodgy contracts.

It is very interesting that Asabee chooses to go on “holiday” just as it has come to light that he has questions to answer.

Well, if it is the case that Asabee has done no wrong, he should take it easy because he will still have the opportunity to go on his “holiday”.

But if it is the case that Asabee knows that he cannot give any credible answers to the questions that will be asked, then he can forget about his “holiday”.

If it is the case that Asabee has “chopped” Government money, then he will go on holiday, but he will holiday in jail.

Honestly, Asabee cannot say that he was not running away from the country.

Asabee was certainly leaving the country to escape from the laws of the land.

I am extremely happy that our security agencies are on top of their job and were able to bust Asabee.

As for the young lady who is now the wife of Asabee, after snatching Asabee from his wife, the least said about her uncouth behaviour of putting passports in between her thighs, the better.

Stephen Asamoah Boateng; you have questions to answer and you better find sensible stories to tell otherwise, be prepared to spend time behind bars for dipping your hands into state funds.

We are building a Better Ghana and no thief will be allowed to get away with stealing of state funds.

CHANGE HAS CERTAINLY COME TO MOHTER GHANA!!!
