Ken Ofori Atta has been accused of causing financial loss to the state in several dealings including the construction of the famous National Cathedral and Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA’s) – Strategic Mobilisation Ghana Ltd (SML), the loss reduction contract between ECG and Beijing Jao and Health Ministry to Service Ghana Auto Limited/Ambulances.

Revealing the directive from the former President, “There’s an effective commitment right from the former President himself. He has given a directive to ensure that our people are available to do that”.
“I just don’t want to go into the details of what he said, but there is that disposition from the former President an indication to stay and make sure that you account for [your stewardship]”, he added.
Richard Ahiagbah asserted that the NPP have no record of running away from accountability and is going to remain in the country.
He accused the National Democratic Congress of rather running away from accountability citing Sedinam Tamakloe’s disappperance.
“We [the NPP] have no record of running away; we’ll be here, We’ll deal with the issues here. It was the NDC members who ran away. My own sister, Sedinam Tamakloe, disappeared. She was tried in absentia, but she ought to be here. Our party has no history of our officials fleeing from accountability”, he revealed.
