Group petitions CHRAJ to probe Kufuor and others over Woyome saga
The Coalition Against Corruption has submitted a petition to the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice CHRAJ to investigate ex-public officials, involved in the organisation of the 26th African Cup of Nations tournament.
The petition called on CHRAJ to investigate members of the past NPP government, namely, former president John Agyekum Kufuor, former Minister of Education and Finance and Economic Planning, Yaw Osafo Maafo, former Deputy Minister for Finance and Economic Planning, Agyeman Manu.
The rest are former Deputy Minister of Education, Youth and Sports O. B Amoah and Kofi Amoah, the former Chief Executive Office of the local organizing committee of CAN 2008 Tournament.
This follows the refusal of indicted ex-governmental officials to appear before the Economic and Organized Crimes Office for questioning into the controversial Gh¢51 million judgement debts paid to Alfred Woyome.
According to the petition statement, the circumstances surrounding the fiscal engagements of the CAN 2008 tournament indicates that “there has been a serious case of abuse of power, corruption, unfair treatment, injustice, misappropriation of public money by the above named former public officials which needs to be investigated urgently.
