Akufo-Addo Stripped Naked!

Mr. Akufo-Addo, flag-bearer of the NPP has

been stripped naked. His public posturing which suggests that he has never had

anything to do with judgement debts and would never have anything to do with

them has been exposed as a blatant lie.

At the Ministry of Information yesterday,

the two Deputy Ministers of the Ministry, Sammy Okudzeto Ablakwa and James

Agyenim-Boateng, produced authentic documents which clearly reveal that

contrary to what he would want Ghanaians to believe, Akufo-Addo has already been

involved in the issue of payment of judgement debts (apart from being part of

those who caused a lot of the debts).

At the press conference, a letter dated 18th April, 2001 and signed by Mr.

Akufo-Addo revealed how, barely a few months

after he was appointed Attorney-General, a position he flopped in, he wrote to

the Minister of Finance requesting him to pay the sum of US$1,117,818.45 to a

Swiss Company, Great Cape, representing the extra amount of money they should

have been paid as interest accruing on a debt the government of Ghana allegedly

owed it.

A second letter that was read ridiculously

saw Akufo-Addo, as recently as 3rd October, 2011, saying that based

on a “vague recollection of the transaction” he was requesting Dr. Kwabena

Dufuor, to pay Great Cape the stated amount.

According to him, it would be ‘unconscionable

on the part of government” to “defeat legitimate claims of its creditors”.

Ironically, just a few weeks ago, during a

tour of beach sites in Accra, the NPP flag-bearer made it clear that judgement

debts were fraudulent and smack of corruption. He is also on record to have

stated that paying judgement debts is a betrayal of the people. The revelations

yesterday, however, indicates that he sees the payment of judgement debts as

legitimate and was only out to fool Ghanaians when he said his government will

never pay one.
