Martin Kpebu, a private attorney, has requested that the government create an independent commission of inquiry to look into the Fourth Estate’s accusations of corruption against the Office of the President.
The controversial Covid-19 contracts that were awarded and approved by the President’s Office are the subject of the corruption charges.
Following the Covid-19 epidemic, contracts were given to sanitation firms to fumigate and disinfect markets, schools, and other public areas
There was no need for the contracts, according to The Fourth Estate.
The video also indicates that, even if contracts were necessary, the task could have been completed through the use of pre-existing contracts.
In addition, another metropolitan, municipal, and district assemblies had the ability to complete the task. However, they were told to halt as certain organizations with a history of questionable business dealings with the government were paid hundreds of millions of cedis to complete the task, according to a report by the Fourth Estate.
Martin Kpebu responded to the accusations by emphasizing how crucial it was for the government to launch an investigation to put an end to the situation.
He said that the President and all other scandal participants should be called before for cross-examination.
“I believe that President Akufo-Addo may do the least he can for us in this specific case—the exposé Manasseh made—by establishing a commission of inquiry. We should establish a transparent, impartial commission of inquiry because we won’t let this waste continue.
“He needs to be held responsible. Why would you give a command to spray when it is not required? What did the WHO do, by the way? He claimed to have all the specialists at Jubilee House, isn’t that right? Who then gave him the recommendation to request the spraying even though it wasn’t necessary?
You do realize that the statistics are in conflict, don’t you? The local government provides theirs separately, and the finance minister provides them separately. Let’s form an inquiry commission,” he said.
