The Director General of Ghana Maritime Authority (GMA) Mr. Thomas Kofi Alonsi has been exposed for allegedly blowing GHC100k monthly on the NPP campaign.
According to reports the Director General has disregarded all financial management laws and resorted to abuse of power and corruption by unwarrantedly causing the Finance team to pay him an average of GHC 100K monthly for his Constituency runs in Builsa North where he is contesting as the NPP Parliamentary candidate in the upcoming elections.
The staff of the GMA have become quiet over the fear of being victimized but have questioned the basis for those monies paid to Mr. Thomas Kofi Alonsi.
They argue that the Director General’s trips to Builsa North are personal rather than official, hence must be refund all those monies.
According to a staff who spoke while infuriated, he said, “For the past 2 years every other weekend when the DG is visiting his constituency as an aspirant to the Builsa north constituency on the ticket of the NPP he personally writes a memo for the Authority to finance his trip to the Upper East and he conveniently makes official trip to Upper East.
“On average every other month he takes not less than 100,000 from the Authority’s coffers e.g. find below as evidence of payments made to him on a weekly basis”.
The Staff of Ghana Maritime Authority have also fingered the Director General in signing a contract they described as a Voodoo contract; in the contract, the Director General is accused of paying 60 percent of the $14,000 contract to a Selbian company with no work done.
The staff said, “This is a contract of almost $14,000 to VLATACOM to install State of the
Art Equipment in The Authority VTMIS but as we speak 60 Percent Payment
has been made to the Serbian Company but No Work Has Even Started for the delivery of the Contract.”
Meanwhile, more rots have been uncovered as Mr. Alonzi who is the NPP Parliamentary Candidate is alleged to have instructed the payment of 20,000.00 into a MoMo account of a group calling itself Women in Chemistry.
