The Ghanaian Chronicle says it has learnt that Mr Tsatsu Tsikata, the man who single-handedly caused excess money supply in the system in 1995/6 with an exposure of over ?400 billion has tiptoed out of the country, leaving in his trail another debt of ?1.4 trillion.

The transition team, which pored over the files, could not trace him or made no serious effort to get the elusive ex-Ghana National Petroleum Corporation (GNPC), chief to answer questions when he was in the country.


Eye-witnesses say he actually drove straight to the airport tarmac with Ms Esther Cobbah, Public Affairs Manager of the West Africa Gas Pipeline project/GNPC and a close friend, and straight unto a Ghana Airways flight to Lagos, Nigeria.

He is said to have, from there, checked into a British Airways flight enroute to the United Kingdom from where he was expected to continue to Houston area where he is said to be the owner of a plush property.
