THE INDEPENDENT has exposed a top operative and beneficiary of the nation’s wealth under the NDC government as the likely source of recent publication in sections of the media.
The Director General of GPHA, Mr. Ben Owusu Mensah, has been at the centre of some publications over the award of a presumed $60 million contract for the construction of a Container Terminal at the Tema Harbour.
As at last week, after THE INDEPENDENT had shuffled through wads of paper and spoken to some staff of GPHA, every thread in the plot inched towards the top NDC operative, Eddie Annan of SSNIT fame, his beef, and preferred company did not win the contract.
Meanwhile, further signals picked by the paper point to another scandal involving the same NDC man, who also doubles as the local Representative of Borskalis.
Borskalis is another foreign company that executed a dredging contract at the Tema Harbour but duped the GPHA in the execution of that contract through the variation of the project cost by 40 per cent upwards resulting in GPHA terminating the contract.
