28th May, 2016, seemed to be a good day for flying. British Airways flight BA 078 took off from Accra Kotoka International Airport at 22:40 hrs (10:40 pm) and arrived at London Heathrow at 06:15 hrs (6:15 am), the following morning, the 29th May. On board were many souls, but one person would soon create a dramatic stir like Ayele Ametepe did in Novemebr of 2014. Sitting in the Business class section with his wife was good ol' Allotey Jacobs, enjoying the exquisite service of British Airways. Business class travel is expensive, you know, and to have paid a hefty amount for two tickets, his and his wife's, meant that this man is loaded. Is he loaded with Ghana's stolen money? Allotey Jacobs is the Central Regional Chairman of the NDC.
President John Dramani Mahama, you said that neither you nor your government are corrupt. Please explain the numerous scandals that have beleaguered you since the advent of the first NDC administration of Atta Mills; and subsequently yours, including the arrest of Allotey Jacobs on suspicion of money laundering and cocaine trafficking. Did you delegate Allotey Jacobs to carry your chopchop cash for you? He was arrested upon arrival at Heathrow airport, while still on board the airplane. He was whisked away by four British Police Officers one of whom was a lady. Both him and his wife were ordered to leave their belongings on board and hurtle along for interrogation. The leader of the Police group that effected the arrest told Allotey Jacobs that they had reason to believe that he was laundering money and unidentified things.
Allotey Jacobs' big lips went limp; flaccid like a deflated balloon. It was not nice at all!
The police went on to tell him that he, Allotey, had physically carried huge sums of money suspected to be ill-gotten into the UK, previously. As at the time the passengers on board the BA flight had gone through the formalities, Allotey Jacobs had still not resurfaced or gotten his "big curvy lips" back. Besides what were the other unidentified things? Could it be kobi, smoked fish, kenkey, or banku mori? Or was it drugs?
Under the circumstances, being an NDC goon, it would not be a surprise if he was caught with both money and drugs, as the British Intelligence suspected. The money he was laundering on this trip was 500,000 Pounds Sterling (almost 800,000 US Dollars). Such was the word that began making the rounds.
President John Mahama, did Allotey Jacobs and his wife travel at the expense of Ghana's tax payer? Would it be not be a case of corruption if an NDC man in active politics was arrested on foreign soil with large sums of money (money laundering) and unidentified things? You ought to resign with your government for the massive corruption that has riddled your administration and brought us so much shame. How did Allotey Jacobs make that much money, five hundred thousand British Pounds Sterling? So that is how you people are stealing Ghana's money, huh?
You need to answer questions of corruption. Yes you do!
Question No 1: Where did the excess 290 million US Dollars of the Ameri deal go? Whose pockets got greased with the hefty amount? Was the money laundered in the same way that Allotey Jacobs did his?
2: Where did the over 100 million dollars that was padded onto the cost of the Ridge hospital go? Some investments in Dubai or Tokyo or?
3: Where did the hundreds of millions of dollars of the Billion dollar Accra road resurfacing project go? Your people are doing such a lousy and unprofessional job that they have further subjected your name to disrepute. New Achimota is one such case. Please visit the inner roads and see what the contractor there is doing. Yet one kilometer is charged at 1.4 million US Dollars when the cost of the shoddy job is not even 100 thousand. Pathetic!
4: What happened with the millions of excess money that was padded onto the cost of the Kpong water project, which is still quite inefficient. The water contains contaminants, and is unhealthy for consumption.
Questions 5? 6? 7? 8? 9? 10? 11?.............................................1000?
Question number 1001: What happened to the millions of US Dollars that were padded onto the cost of the kasoa interchange?
Question number 1002: What happened to the millions of US Dollars that were padded onto the cost of your Kwame Nkrumah Circle "tourist attraction" interchange, which has, paradoxically, worsened as a death trap for thousands of people, especially during the rainy season.
Question number 1003: And why is that money not reflecting in beneficial projects forthe better transformation of people's lives, especially in the Volta region and the NDC strongholds? Oh and how can you answer the issue of political meters of the ECG, ripping people off their meager earnings, considering that there are more jobless youth in Ghana under your administration that there ever have been in the history of our nation?
