Seamstress wins contract to supply hospital ambulance to VRA!

SIMMONS KEWURA, the Brong Ahafo Bureau Head of the Chronicle newspaper group, reported yesterday that a company called Christies’ Sewing Industry in Kumasi belongs to one Madam Christine Doh.

Kewura, who was reporting from Asokwa New Amakom Extension, Kumasi, recalled that during the last elections, he was one of the reporters who were hosted at the ‘family house’ at Asokwa (School Board) of the then presidential candidate of the United Ghana Movement (UGM), Dr. Charles Yves Wereko-Brobby.

He was cross investigating part of a vast pool of Chronicle Intelligence that impinges on national interest at the Volta River Authority (VRA), where the former UGM presidential candidate is the substantive Chief Executive.

Christie’s Sewing Industry, which specializes in making uniform and fittings, has just won an extraordinary order to supply a hospital ambulance to the VRA, beating a quality field of specialized companies, including German firms, at a tender.

Kewura confirmed that the head of Christies’ is indeed the mother of the powerful VRA Chief Executive, Dr. Wereko-Brobby, who is expected to resume work tomorrow after he allegedly voluntarily stepped aside last month in the wake of worker agitations.

The purchase order for the hospital ambulance is BEL31353501 and is being processed by the VRA’s Head of Materials Management, which handles procurements including internationals from the Tema office. She is one Ms. Harriet Wilson.

Ms. Wilson, who used to be a close friend of two VRA directors known by name to The Chronicle, is romantically linked to Dr. Wereko-Brobby and has spoken to The Chronicle about her association with the VRA boss in an earlier interview.

Chronicle is under fire from Dr. Wereko-Brobby, who is demanding a total of ?2 billion from the struggling newspaper.

This morning The Chronicle will make its fourth court appearance involving this legal action that threatens the existence of the 11-year old newspaper.
