Investigative journalist and a staunch anti-corruption crusader, Manasseh Azure Awuni has established that the Member of Parliament for Tafo in the Ashanti Region, Ekow Vincent Assafuah is not corrupt.
In his recent book titled the “President Ghana Never Got’, he mentions that, the Member of Parliament for Tafo, and one other board member were the only people who were against a contract with Zoomlion which ripped the country.
However, their opposition to the contract worth 3 billion cedis was not enough as the powerful businessman found his way around to get the needed clearance.
“A young man appointed by Akufo-Addo to head a state-owned agency, Kofo Baah Agyepong, is facing a corrupt deal that has already cost Ghana more than 3 billion CEDIS.
He is convinced the deal is unconscionable, but the businessman behind it is powerful and influential. Two other members of the young CEO’s board (Mr. Vincent Ekow Assafuah, the NPP MP for Tafo Pankrono and
Ms. Lawrencia Ahema Adams) are against the corrupt contract, but a majority of the board members, for some unknown reasons, support the shady deal,” parts of the book read.
