MONEY OVER LIVES — WHEN CALLOUSNESS, UNBRIDLED GREED AND UNCONTROLLABLE CORRUPTION COMBINE TO RISK THE LIVES OF GHANA’S SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
Painstaking parliamentary oversight has uncovered a grand callous, dangerous, murderous and corrupt scheme that puts the health of Senior High School students in extreme jeopardy.
My unimpeachable investigation reveals how a crony company was allowed to criminally re-package over 15,000 50kg bags of expired and contaminated rice into different 50kg bags without expiry dates under the full protection of NPP political heavyweights.
This expired and contaminated rice was then delivered to Senior High Schools across the country and fed to students.
On 20th December, 2023, the Ashanti Regional Office of the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) received an alert from a patriotic Ghanaian about a suspicious re-packaging exercise which had not been authorized by the FDA.
This unauthorized re-packaging was shockingly being carried out at the storage facility of the National Food Buffer Stock Company (NAFCO) in the Ashanti Region.
When FDA officials acted on the alert, it emerged that a similar alert had been received by the Ashanti Regional Police Command and the command had promptly moved in to close the storage facility.
The FDA and the Ashanti Regional Police Command then commenced investigations into the matter.
The Ashanti Regional FDA’s investigations revealed the following damning findings as contained in an intercepted report signed by its Ashanti Regional Head, John Laryea Odai-Tettey:
1. Moshosho Rice (25% broken white rice) with registration number FDA/Ce 20-701 was imported by Lamens Investments Africa Limited.
2. The Notify Party is the National Food Buffer Stock Company.
3. The rice was exported from India by Satya Balajee Rice Industries PVT Ltd.
4. In all 33,000 bags of 50kg bags of rice were imported.
5. The National Food Buffer Stock storage facility in Kumasi received 22,000 bags of 50kg rice by the time of the alert, whilst the remaining 10,000 bags were being kept at a bonded warehouse in Tema known as Lynbrok.
6. Lamens Investments Africa and National Food Buffer Stock realizing that the best before date for the Moshosho Rice was December 2023 started criminally re-packaging the Moshosho Rice from its original yellow 50kg polypropylene bags into white 50kg polypropylene bags with the inscription “CEDAO ECOWAS Regional Food Security Reserve.”
7. Whilst the best before date on the original Moshosho Rice packaging was December 2023, there was no date on the new bags being used for the re-packaging. This contravenes the General Labelling Regulation, LI 1541.
8. The country of origin (India) was also changed to Ghana concealing the true identity of the rice and creating a false narrative that Buffer Stock and the Free SHS Secretariat were distributing Made-in-Ghana rice.
9. This illegal re-packaging was carried out without FDA’s approval as required by law.
10. The National Food Buffer Stock storage facility had neither been licensed for storage or re-packaging contrary to the Public Health Act, 2012 (Act 851)
11. It was determined that the NAFCO storage facility had no qualified or trained person to supervise its activities.
President Akufo-Addo’s appointed CEO of the National Food Buffer Stock Company is Alhaji Hanan Abdul-Wahab. He is also the NPP’s Parliamentary Candidate for the Pusiga Constituency.
The Board of the National Food Buffer Stock Company is chaired by the NPP’s National Organizer, Henry Nana Boakye.
It is most instructive to note that the importer, Lamens Investments Africa Ltd has admitted to its wrongdoing and agreed to pay an administrative fine of GHS100,000.00
Indeed, additional intercepted documents confirm that Lamens paid a 50% deposit of the fine to the FDA amounting to GHS50,000.00. It was received by the FDA on January 5, 2024. (See evidence of payment and Lamens admission of guilt attached.)
FDA insiders say
Lamens has since refused to pay the remaining fine.
Typical of sweetheart deals under the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government, Lamens Investments Africa Limited was single sourced. The company has no proven track record.
Lamens was incorporated on 20th July, 2020. Its directors are David Agyefi-Mensah and Simon Adjei.
An intercepted internal memo from the Ashanti Regional FDA dated 29th December, 2023 (copy attached) reveals that initially the FDA intended to fine Lamens Investments GHS150,000.00; dispose the 15,000 bags which had been re-packaged at the time of the alert, and issue an immediate desist order to stop further re-packaging, however, intense political pressure thwarted the FDA’s original plans. (See FDA internal memo attached)
The Ashanti Regional Police Command in an intercepted letter dated 21st December, 2023, signed by J.J. Boye, Superintendent/Crime/Ashanti wrote to the Ashanti Regional FDA Director requesting assistance in conducting an examination of the re-packaged rice.
Shockingly, even before the test results would arrive from FDA-Accra, a reckless order came from above that the re-packaged rice be distributed to Senior High Schools.
The FDA eventually submitted the test results — also known as certificate of analysis on the 6th of February, 2024. (Intercepted copies attached).
Irrefutable investigations show that the expired and contaminated re-packaged bags of rice were already distributed to schools on the 2nd of February, 2024 — some four days prior.
If authorities had waited for the FDA test results, the re-packaged Moshosho rice would have all been destroyed and not fed to our SHS students.
See attached to this publication, evidence of the distribution of the re-packaged expired and contaminated rice to Senior High Schools such as PRESEC, Konongo Odumasi & Bolga Girls.
Note that PRESEC serves as the centralized warehouse for all Senior High Schools in the Greater Accra Region. That means all Senior High and TVET Schools pick up their supplies from PRESEC.
Further checks confirm that these schools received the re-packaged rice which did not have a best before date.
Headmasters have told me they raised reservations but they were simply ignored.
This is the more tragic part — unfortunately, the FDA certificate of analysis on the re-packaged rice samples show significant presence of insects and a high fat acidity.
Medical doctors I have engaged with this FDA laboratory evidence speak of grave health consequences for our SHS students.
According to doctors, the health implications of consuming rice with high fat acidity and insect infestation are multifaceted, encompassing immediate digestive symptoms, potential allergic reactions, and long-term health risks, including chronic inflammation, liver disease, and nutritional deficiencies. Short-term effects are generally uncomfortable and may discourage consumption, but the long-term impacts are insidious, potentially leading to irreversible health consequences if consumption continues over time.
Long-Term Gastrointestinal and Microbial Health Risks: Ingesting insect-contaminated rice regularly poses risks to gut health. Insects may introduce harmful bacteria and parasites, disrupting the delicate balance of gut microbiota. Repeated exposure to pathogens and potential parasites can weaken gut immunity and contribute to dysbiosis, where harmful bacteria outcompete beneficial gut bacteria, increasing susceptibility to chronic GI disorders like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) (Cunha et al., 2023)
Furthermore, certain insect components, like chitin, may be difficult for some individuals to digest, potentially leading to chronic digestive issues and discomfort over time.
Mycotoxin Exposure and Carcinogenic Risks: Long-term ingestion of rice contaminated with mycotoxins due to insect presence or spoilage can be particularly harmful. Aflatoxins, produced by certain molds in warm, humid storage conditions, are well-documented carcinogens,

HOW THE SAME AKUFO-ADDO’S AMBULANCE SPARE PARTS CABAL USED DIFFERENT COMPANIES TO PROCURE THE 307 WILDLY INFLATED AMBULANCES IN A US$108MILLION HEIST
Unimpeachable, irrefutable and irreproachable parliamentary oversight has finally smoked out the hidden characters behind the procurement of President Akufo-Addo’s flagship 307 ambulances.
I can today authoritatively reveal that the same cabal behind the infamous, inflated, sleazy and unconscionable US$34.9million ambulance spare parts sweetheart deal are the same characters who were awarded opaque single-source contracts valued at a staggering US$54.3million to procure the 307 ambulances.
For the avoidance of doubt, the same President Akufo-Addo’s daughters’ business partners and close associates were the same guys hurriedly selected to import the ambulances under extremely shady and disgraceful circumstances.
My continuous diligent parliamentary oversight on this ambulance saga has additionally revealed that just like the outrageous spare parts sweetheart deal, the procurement of the 307 ambulances was also grossly inflated.
From page 2 (paragraph 4) of the of the Auditor-General’s Performance Audit, government officials told auditors that the 307 Mercedes Benz ambulances were procured at a total amount of US$54.3million. (Performance Audit attached).
This figure of US$54.3million is consistent with what then Special Development Initiatives Minister, Hawa Koomson repeated to the Ghanaian media.
Meanwhile, page 24 (paragraph 46) of the same Performance Audit states that a unit price of the ambulance is US$80,000.00. (Performance Audit attached).
At US$80,000.00 for one ambulance, the 307 ambulances should give us a total of GHS24,560,000.00 and not US$54.3million.
This really means that the procurement of the ambulances was unconscionably inflated by a scary US$29,740,000.00.
The wickedly padded figure of US$29.7million is more than the actual cost of all the 307 ambulances.
Even if you add a 10% insurance premium of US$8,000.00 per ambulance, the procurement of the 307 ambulances would still be inflated by a massive US$27,284,000.00. Note, however, the Auditor-General discovered that insurance premiums were not paid on the 307 ambulances.
It makes sense to conclude that the US$54.3million taxpayer funds spent by the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government should have provided Ghanaians with 678 ambulances and not 307. This is most criminal!
Painstaking parliamentary scrutiny has led to confirmation that this time, the presidential looting cabal used different companies to import the ambulances. They did not use the notorious Service Ghana Auto Group Limited.
The companies used by the presidential familial gang are: Elok Consult and Services Limited; BEFT Engineering Works Limited; Bluemix Company Limited; Prestige Era Company Limited; RDC Company Limited; Luxury World Auto Group Limited and Quality Suppliers and Builders Company Limited.
Instructively, a majority 6 out of the 8 companies were formed between April and September 2017 — the year Akufo-Addo became President of Ghana. All 8 companies have no track record and expertise in the importation of ambulances.
Elok Consult and Services Limited was incorporated on 25th July, 2017. The directors are Stephen Okoro, the man who gave President Akufo-Addo his first granddaughter, and another gentleman who used the name Solomon Okereke for the company registration.
Remember the politically exposed Stephen Okoro is also a business partner of Gyankroma Akufo-Addo. They have incorporated numerous companies together as I revealed in Part 2.
Further background checks on Solomon Okereke revealed that he is a direct brother of Stephen Okoro.
Solomon Okereke’s intercepted passport confirms that his full name is Solomon Okoro Okereke. (Intercepted passport attached).
It is not immediately clear why Solomon concealed Okoro when he was registering Elok Consult with his brother, Stephen.
Elok Consult was paid an
impressive GHS32,203,322.14 on 27th December, 2019 for importing 40 ambulances.
BEFT Engineering Works Limited was incorporated on 20th April, 2017.
The directors of BEFT Engineering are Frank Agyekum and Alvin Mensah.
Alvin Mensah is a longtime associate of Edwina Akufo-Addo.
BEFT Engineering was paid GHS26,694,249.13 on 24th December, 2019 for importing 40 ambulances.
Bluemix Company Limited was incorporated on 5th September, 2017.
Its directors are Katumi Nambiema and Prince Osei. This company is also a subscriber of Service Ghana Auto Group Limited.
Bluemix was paid GHS15,910,697.68 on December 24, 2019 for supplying 35 ambulances.
Prestige Era Company Limited was incorporated on April 19, 2017.
Their directors are Abdul Sumaila and Yousiph Abdulkadir.
Prestige Era is another subscriber of Service Ghana Auto Group Limited.
Prestige Era was paid GHS32,203,452.19 on December 27, 2019 for importing 40 ambulances.
RDC Company Limited was incorporated on June 27, 2014.
Their directors are Alberta Baidoo and Stephanie Bannerman.
RDC is a subscriber of Service Ghana Auto Group Limited.
They were paid GHS17,067,138.41 on December 27, 2019 for the importation of 40 ambulances.
Luxury World Auto Group Limited was incorporated on November 24, 2015.
Their directors are Elisha Enti, Vivian Oppong-Kyekyeku, Charles Oppong-Kyekyeku and Jeannette Affram.
Luxury World is yet another subscriber of the notorious Service Ghana Auto Group Limited.
Luxury World was paid GHS32,202,026.99 on December 27, 2019 for the supply of 40 ambulances.
Quality Suppliers and Builders Company Limited did also receive a payment of GHS26,679,812.23 on December 27, 2019 for the procurement of 40 ambulances. They remain subscribers of the discredited Service Ghana Auto Group Limited.
Incorporation documents and evidence of payments to all the companies listed above are duly attached.
It ought to be noted that the wide disparities in the value of payments between the various companies for the same specs of ambulances procured during the same period requires a special forensic audit to unravel the mystery.
So far, this presidential ambulance cabal have together conspired and grabbed an initial US$54.3million wildly inflated ambulance procurement, GHS115million for maintenance of the ambulances between 2020 and 2023, US$10million in February this year and an imminent payment of US$24.9million. That’s a grand total of some US$108million.
Based on the latest discoveries from my deeper parliamentary oversight on this scandal, I shall take steps to promptly update my petition which is currently before the Special Prosecutor.
They can run but they can’t hide!
There shall surely be retrievals and sanctions.
It is easy to predict that real mega ambulance prosecution will commence in 2025; obviously the ongoing Ato Forson/Jakpa case now looks like an even bigger joke.
Nothing will stop us from defeating nepotistic state capture!
For God and Country.

THE GHS2.6BILLION DUBIOUS, DUPLICATIVE & DEADLY DIGITALIZATION DEALS IN GHANA’S HEALTH SECTOR — PART 1
Ghana’s health sector has been in the news lately for all the wrong reasons.
A few months ago, 19 renal patients lost their lives at the Korle-Bu Renal Unit because government was unable to provide just GHS4million. The dialysis crisis has still not been resolved even as private companies like the First Sky Group come to the rescue.
Doctors at the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) have warned that all their dialysis machines except one and half have broken down without government intervention to replace them for several months.
KATH has been without a mammography machine to diagnose early signs of breast cancer for several years.
Prominent chiefs and opinion leaders continue to agitate about their abandoned hospital projects — most of which were almost completed by 2016.
Not too long ago, the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government could not provide childhood vaccines leading to a national emergency. Ghana had to fall on Nigeria for a bailout albeit under deceitful circumstances.
Numerous government hospitals are lamenting the lack of critical medical equipment needed to save lives. If MRI machines at prestigious hospitals such as 37 and Ridge have broken down for months without resources to repair or replace them, then one can imagine the situation in less endowned facilities.
Indeed, former Health Minister Kwaku Agyeman-Manu told Parliament not too long ago that Ghana has only 4 functioning MRIs in government hospitals across the entire country.
Funding for President Akufo-Addo’s flagship Agenda 111 has remained a huge challenge as he repeatedly misses his completion deadlines since the peak of COVID-19.
Doctors, nurses, midwives and other health workers continue to agitate for better working conditions. The Ghana Registered Nurses and Midwives Association (GRNMA) revealed this week that already some 6,000 nurses have left Ghana since August 2023 in search of the proverbial greener pastures.
The GRNMA President, Mrs. Perpetual Ofori-Ampofo left many Ghanaians further depressed when she revealed that many heroic nurses who put their lives at great risk on the frontlines of the covid war have still not received the package they were promised by the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government.
Ghanaians are yet to recover from the tragedy at the Tema General Hospital NICU which occurred a few days ago when the hospital was subjected to DUMSOR. Apparently, the standby generator to protect babies on oxygen was faulty. One mother insists she lost her precious baby because of this national disgrace.
Health facilities which were hitherto exempted from ECG disconnections no longer enjoy that dispensation.
As a Member of Parliament, I have been compelled to rely on my external network to equip hospitals and establish a surgical block in my beloved constituency.
With this shambolic state of health care in Ghana, one wonders why the current Akufo-Addo/Bawumia-led government will ignore the priorities begging for urgent solutions, and rather be fixated on dubious, duplicative and deadly so-called digitalization initiatives at a heartless cost of GHS2.67billion?
To our utter shock, the National Health Insurance Authority has submitted a 2024 allocation formula to Parliament which mindlessly and unpatriotically prioritizes the following:
1. Biometric ID Cards and Authentication System — GHS405.74million (this is despite the billions we have already spent on Ghana Cards)
2. Management Information System — GHS343.92million
3. Capturing of Claims Data — GHS112million
4. Ministry of Health (Health Provider - E-Health Solution) — GHS80million
5. Claims Processing Centres and E-Claims — GHS76million
6. Archival System and Document Management— GHS38.58million
7. Telecare Services Platform — GHS30million
8. Transfer of Data from NIA GHS10million
9. E-Pharmacy — GHS11million
The NHIA’s dubious and duplicative
digitalization expenditure for 2024 alone amounts to an incredible GHS1,107,240,000. (See attached relevant extracts from NHIA’s Allocation Formula submitted to Parliament)
The fundamental question is — should a struggling health insurance scheme which is unable to pay claims on time, a scheme owing hospitals, a scheme operating in dilapidated hospitals without critical equipment, with many analysts indicating that cash-and-carry is back in many parts of Ghana be spending over GHS1.1billion on non-core interventions in the name of digitalization?
Note also that after the NHIA allocated over GHS1.1billion in 2024 to shady and misplaced digitalization deals, they callously and shamelessly allocated only a paltry GHS2million for desperate dialysis patients.
What is even more disturbing, my investigations reveal that most of the items the NHIA is spending over a billion Cedis on are already catered for in another massive US$100million (GHS1.3billion) single-sourced contract awarded in 2017 by the Ministry of Health under Hon. Kwaku Agyeman-Manu to a company known as Lightwave eHealthcare Solutions Limited. The 20th November, 2015 registered company is owned by Sampson Djaba and Vincent Attabuatsi (see incorporation documents attached).
The US$100million Lightwave project is described as the E-Health Project with Bio-Surveillance (Early Warning) System. The launch took place at the Winneba Trauma and Specialist Hospital on November 21, 2017 and was headlined by Chief of Staff, Hon. Akosua Frema Osei-Opare as the Special Guest of Honour, Minister of Health, Kwaku Agyeman-Manu as Keynote Speaker and Dr. Anthony Nsiah-Asare, Director General of the Ghana Health Service.
At this launch, and from further documentation in my possession, the scope of the US$100million (GHS1.3billion) Lightwave deal encompasses the following 8 key features:
i) Centralised data centre with 24hr recovery
ii) Networking and connectivity of ALL hospitals clinics, and community health clinics in every region/district/sub-district in Ghana
(iii) Networking of ALL agencies
(iv) Provide electronic medical records
v) Develop real-time bio-surveillance system
(vi) Develop patient management system.
(vii) NHIS Integration platform
(viii) Develop a centralised laboratory system.
(The claims above as contained in the launch brochure are duly attached.)
Even before the November 21, 2017 launch, Health Minister Kwaku Agyeman-Manu signed a 2nd June, 2017 letter addressed to the Ghana Health Service Director General confirming his ministry’s engagement of Lightwave and how the roll out will ensure that “hospital data is integrated with claims management system of the National Health Insurance Scheme.” (Intercepted letter is attached).
The Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government should be explaining to Ghanaian taxpayers why we should be paying over GHS2.6billion Cedis on needless, duplicative and wasteful digitalization deals at the NHIA, Lightwave and another as will de disclosed tomorrow, particularly taking into account other more important and basic unresolved challenges in the health sector.
Strangely, the then Health Minister’s 2nd June, 2017 letter practically killed the businesses of all other Electronic Medical Records (EMR) and Patient Management System (PMS) providers in the space, considering that all heads of facilities were warned in the minister’s letter not to renew any existing EMR contract. (See last paragraph of intercepted letter).
My further probing confirms that the Lightwave sweetheart deal is still very much active and is costing the Ghanaian taxpayer a fortune.
In 2023 alone, at a time the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government said they didn’t have GHS4million to save the lives of 19 dialysis patients at Korle Bu, Ghanaian taxpayers coughed a staggering GHS246.8million to pay Lightwave for digitalization — largely the same digitalization we are about to pay billions for again via the NHIA — absolutely unconscionable!

THE HEAVEN SCANDAL — PART 2
It is always essential to keep your promise— particularly, when you are working for God and Country — so I am delighted to be back with Part 2 of “The Heaven Scandal.”
May I take a moment to congratulate all those who were able to participate in yesterday’s extremely successful #OccupyBoGProtest. The mammoth attendance and the peaceful nature of the demonstration, once again, attests to the fact that there is absolutely no justification for the dark forces who consistently seek to curtail our right to demonstrate. Those fascist forces must stop intimidating the masses and focus on delivering good governance.
We are also grateful to compatriots who couldn’t join us on the streets for legitimate reasons but were in solidarity with us, and kept supporting from the flanks.
The mass actions will continue until MisGovernor Addison and his deputies resign, and until the national decay is arrested.
Part 2
Since the publication of Part 1 of The Heaven Scandal and my subsequent engagement on X Spaces, many have been asking: “Who are behind Heaven Builders Limited?”
In the true spirit of transparency, accountability and parliamentary oversight — there shall be full disclosure. I have secured the incorporation documents of Heaven Builders Limited. Those are the first set of attachments to this edition.
It is instructive to note that Heaven Builders was acquired and taken over by its current directors on April 17, 2018.
Strangely, the stated capital for Heaven Builders Limited which has been made an offer and allocation of prime Airport lands valued in excess of US$150million is a paltry GHS5,000.00 (Five Thousand Ghana Cedis).
From the incorporation documents, Heaven Builders Limited indicates that it envisages to have only one (1) employee.
With one employee, a stated capital of a measly GHS5,000 and absolutely no track record — President Akufo-Addo, Vice President Bawumia, Finance Minister Ken Ofori Atta and their collaborators at the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL) believe Heaven Builders have the best capacity to be Anchor Developers and new owners of 62 acres of prime Airport land.
For the avoidance of doubt, and for better appreciation, the 93-acre prime land in issue is bounded on the west by the Airport By-pass road, on the south by the Airport road, on the north by a rail line, and east by the terminals 1 and 2 tarmac.
Some prominent businesses and celebrated brands in the immediate vicinity of the giveaway prime land to Heaven Builders include Marriott Hotel, Holiday Inn, Accra Mall, Marina Mall, Head Offices of Stanbic, Vodafone and Nestle.
There is more bombshell: deep throat unimpeachable sources within the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia administration have revealed to me that the same “lootocratic” brigands who were behind the infamous Frontiers COVID-19 Airport testing heist are the same promoters of this unconscionable Airport land grab.
The unholy Frontiers-Heaven Builders connection cannot be dismissed as mere conspiracy theory when a careful study of the incorporation documents of both companies reveal that both companies have the same witness in the person of Edward Charles Appiah with the same address. (Frontiers incorporation document is duly attached).
I shall return to other modus operandi of this same Ghana/Nigeria “lootocratic” picaroons in later publications.
I can also confirm today that two reputable independent professional entities have delivered reasoned professional assessments of the Heaven Builders deal to the GACL. They have both vehemently disagreed with the counteroffer of Heaven Builders wherein they demand 62 acres.
The two independent professional entities are Brightwater Property Investment Limited and the renowned Ghana Institution of Surveyors.
Brightwater’s assessment was delivered on July 25, 2023 and signed by its Director, Osafo Gyimah.
The Ghana Institution of Surveyors damning assessment was delivered to
the GACL on 24th July, 2023 and co-signed by Surv. Dr. Frank Gyamfi-Yeboah, FGhIS (for Pacific Real Estate Advisors) and Surv. Yaw Osei-Wusu Peprah, MRICS, MGhIS (for Assenta Property Consulting).
It is instructive to note that both professional bodies indicated that even if the deal should go ahead — remember their mandate was to carry out valuation and not to undertake due diligence of Heaven Builders or review the appropriateness of the overarching policy — they however assert that the valuation of Heaven Builders was terribly low, and that they didn’t deserve anything beyond 40 acres — that is even if they could really raise US$85million.
I have duly attached relevant extracts of both valuation opinions.
Interestingly, whereas Heaven Builders was claiming an acre should be valued at an average US$1.3million, the Ghana Institution of Surveyors report contains real purchases within that vicinity far in excess including a 1.75 acre which sold at US$6.3million as far back as 2019. (Report attached).
I commend Brightwater Property Investment Limited and the Ghana Institution of Surveyors for their patriotic and professional service.
They have done their part; now let us all rise and stop this grand looting of prime lands.
The NDC caucus in Parliament stands ready to totally scuttle this corrupt land grab in the next few days when the House resumes.
Ghana must remain a democracy not a lootocracy.
This is not a deal from Heaven, it has every trait of a deal from Satan’s Hell.
For God and Country.

THE HEAVEN SCANDAL - PART 1
The Heaven Scandal is yet another classic manifestation of create, loot and share.
In recent days, leading members of the ruling New Patriotic Party have been publicly condemning the frightening levels of corruption, looting and plundering which is now the irrefutable legacy of the buccaneer Akufo-Addo/Bawumia administration.
Alan Kyerematen has boldly called out the “unscrupulous apparatchiks” who have hijacked the NPP and are destroying Ghana.
Dr. Amoako Baah a few days ago confessed on TV3 that: “We have stolen everything.”
Dr. Arthur Kennedy in his latest epistle has decried the situation where “our resources are destroyed to enrich a few.”
Kennedy “Showdown” Agyapong has been captured in a viral video lamenting about how “NPP is looting Ghana as if there is no tomorrow.”
This latest exposé — The Heaven Scandal is an incontrovertible confirmation of the public confessions of these top NPP insiders but it also reflects a tragic reality about how there will be no country left if Ghanaians do not rise up to demand an end to the pillage.
It is in this regard that I salute and applaud the youth who embarked on the #OccupyJulorbiHouse demonstration a few days ago.
I also commend colleague NDC MPs, Civil Society Organizations, other associations and the vast majority of Ghanaians who will be participating in tomorrow’s #OccupyBoGProtest
Facts about the Heaven Scandal
On the blind side of Parliament and the Ghanaian people, President Akufo-Addo and Finance Minister Ken Ofori Atta have granted approval for our prime airport lands to be handed over under the most shady of circumstances to a company known as Heaven Builders Limited.
In an intercepted offer letter dated December 16, 2022, Managing Director of the Ghana Airports Company Limited (GACL), Mrs. Pamela Djamson-Tettey conveys the offer and allocations to the Managing Director of Heaven Builders Limited. (Intercepted letter attached)
In an outrageous sweetheart deal, the GACL assures Heaven Builders that they will become owners of 38.14 acres of prime airport land in the immediate environs of the Kotoka International Airport under the Airport City Phase 2 Project if they agree to carry out some dubious infrastructure such as roads and drains at a so-called cost of US$85,021,340.00.
It is most instructive that the offer letter does not provide any independent verification mechanism for really assessing that any claim by Heaven Builders that they have invested US$85million in infrastructure is indeed accurate.
Strangely, no one knows how that infrastructure cost was arrived at.
Even more shocking is the decision by the buccaneer Akufo-Addo/Bawumia government to adopt this model of a generous crony giveaway to Heaven Builders when GACL could raise their own equity for infrastructure even from our local banks considering the fact that GACL are the direct owners of this prime 93 acre land.
Ghanaians would be more devastated to know that because this is a behind the scenes sleazy sweetheart deal, Heaven Builders have made a counteroffer in a letter dated 23rd January, 2023 signed by Frank Owiredu-Affum, a Director, where they demand more land. (Letter attached)
Heaven Builders is now asking for a massive 62.14 acres for the same consideration. This is almost double what they were initially offered.
They are also demanding that the lease period be extended from 45 years to 99 years.
Heaven Builders and their collaborators are perhaps the most powerful and courageous prime land looters this country has ever seen.
At current commercial value, an acre of prime land at Airport can be averagely worth US$4million. Under the initial offer to Heaven Builders of 38.14 acres, they stand to make in excess of US$152million.
If their current demand for 62.14 acres is approved, they walk away with a cool US$248.56million as they smile to the bank.
Obviously, the faceless mafia behind Heaven Builders must assume Ghana belongs to them — but their days are numbered.
My unimpeachable sources within GACL have informed me about how top management is sharply divided about this Heaven Builders Affair. Those against the deal are upset about the naked thievery and future consequences, particularly, when the next NDC administration decides to prosecute.
The tension over this mega airport prime land loot almost cost the current Managing Director, Mrs. Pamela Djamson-Tettey her job when she was threatened with dismissal after being accused of delaying the deal and refusing to succumb to the outlandish counteroffer of Heaven Builders. This is what led to the workers’ union issuing a strongly worded statement on August 16, 2023 alleging that there was a plot to remove the Managing Director and warning of dire consequences if that happened. (Statement attached).
When Parliament resumes in a few days, we shall be demanding an enquiry into this Heaven Scandal. We shall also summon all those officials involved in this secret land grab — they must be prepared to explain why they kept parliament in the dark and didn’t seek prior parliamentary approval.
This Mafioso-style looting of prime airport lands is another reason we must all be demonstrably angry at this regime, and ensure we show up for tomorrow’s OccupyBoG demonstration at 7am.
If this government’s predecessors had behaved this way, what will they have inherited?
I shall publish more damning documents on this Heaven Scandal on Wednesday October 4, 2023 in Part 2.
We shall stop the Airport prime land looters!
For God and Country.

Unimpeachable explosive documents recently obtained from President Akufo-Addo’s office confirm that Ghana’s President, his Secretary and his Chief of Staff all knew about the Rev. Victor Kusi Boateng/Kwabena Adu Gyamfi illicit double identity scheme during the presidential
approval processes to grant Kusi Boateng/Adu Gyamfi a diplomatic passport.
The alarming documents reveal that the Akufo-Addo presidency did not raise objections on conduct which the Human Rights Court has described as bordering on criminality.
