Manasseh Azure Awuni an award-winning investigative journalist has boldly fired shots at Ghanaian politicians and government officials.
According to Manasseh Azure Awuni, when Dr Joseph Siaw Agyepong, the Executive Chairman of Jospong Group of Companies is involved, Ghanaian politicians and government officials act without consulting their brains.
Manasseh Azure Awuni was reacting to comments by the Jospong CEO heaping praises on John Mahama’s 24-hour economy.
Dr Joseph Siaw Agyepong, is quoted by Graphic Online to have stated, “President Mahama’s idea of the 24-hour economy is a very laudable idea. We are going to try to rationalize our operations to meet that. We are going to work at night and in the morning so that we can bring those guys who have been dumping in the night to book”.
“We will be monitoring them, we will go after them with all the necessary equipment and enforcement. We just need the assembly to support us; we are going to work 24 hours”, he added.
Manasseh Awuni has over the years trailed Jospong with all kinds of allegations and stories and pushes for governments to bring the Jospong conglomerate down which has fallen on deaf ears.
According to him, Zoomlion a company owned by Jospong has been implicated in many corrupt deals in Ghana.
Manasseh Azure has revealed that the current arrangement between Zoomlion and YEA reveals that Zoomlion receives GHS 850 but the workers take home GHS 250 a month.
He questioned how these people sleep soundly at night and pray in your churches when they treat their fellow human beings like slaves.
Azure noted that YEA pays its beneficiaries at least GHS 500 a month, but they approved this shady deal with Zoomlion, in which the cleaners are paid half of what the other YEA beneficiaries receive.
“Zoomlion has been implicated in many corrupt deals in Ghana, but the political class has often looked away. I have published enough evidence of Zoomlion’s shady deals and still have more evidence. This is perhaps the reason the CEO of the company, Elder Joseph Siaw Agyepong of The Church of Pentecost, sued me for defamation and ran away from his own case after I filed my defence”, Manasseh Azure stated some time ago.
