Samuel Okudzeto-Ablakwa, the member of parliament for North Tongu, has released a new document that shows the government has set aside a sizeable sum of money to settle a judgment debt owed by the Ghana Power Generator Company (GPGC).
The North Tongu MP criticized the government on his X (previously Twitter) page for not providing emergency housing for those affected by the flood caused by the Volta River Authority (VRA), but he also released a statement “a staggering GHC230.5 million ($20million) to pay for the judgement debt they recklessly & wickedly created.”
A payment slip that the Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, signed instructing the Controller and Accountant General to release the funds is attached to the tweet, “at exchange rate of $1 to GHC11.5299 to the Chief Director, Ministry of Finance to enable make part settlement for the arbitral award of GPGC limited.”
A day of reckoning was also issued by Mr. Ablakwa to the “Ministers who wrongfully terminated the GPGC contract and willfully caused financial loss to Ghana.”
Ablakwa recently revealed that Reverend Eastwood Anaba and Archbishop Nicholas Duncan-Williams did not take any allowance during their time as Board Members of the National Cathedral project.
His comment comes a month after the two popular clergymen resigned from the National Cathedral Board of Trustees.
Speaking in an exclusive interview with Bola Ray on StarrChat, Okudzeto Ablakwa disclosed that Archbishop Duncan-Williams and Rev. Eastwood Anaba went into the National Cathedral Board of Trustees with a pure heart.
The North Tongu MP added that, anytime he sees or hears people criticizing and accusing the two celebrated clergymen for looting money from the national cathedral project, he wonders where such people get their information from.
According to him, he has insiders at the National Cathedral Board of Trustees and he can say for a fact that Archbishop Duncan-Williams and Rev. Eastwood Anaba are innocent of all corrupt allegations leveled against them.
Okudzeto Ablakwa revealed that he has been in contact with Rev. Eastwood Anaba, the founder and leader of Fountain Gate Chapel, and the preacher admitted to him that they should have listened to him before accepting to be part of the National Cathedral Board of Trustees.
