TMA Engineer faces possible sanctions over GHC80,000 fraud case
Acting Tema Metropolitan Engineer, Anthony Opoku
Mensah’s fate hangs in the balance as he is to
appear before General Assembly which is to pass a
vote of no confidence this week.

This flows from his failure to appear on two
occasions before a Public Relations Complaint
Committee constituted to look into an alleged GH¢
80,000.00 fraud case brought against him and
Coordinating Director, Emmanuel Aboanor Nartey.

Sources told Adom News’ Kwame Yankah that though
invitation was extended to the two, the Acting
Engineer could not appear to assist in the
internal investigation being carried out.

The alleged fraud case has also been picked up by
the state investigative body, Bureau of National
Investigations (BNI).

Sources say, a developer seeking to secure permit
to undertake a gas project at Tema New Town would
have lost the above amount due to different
figures coated by the two to help him circumvent
the spatial planning process in obtaining such
permit.

The Coordinator who is heading the Assembly in the
absence of a Metropolitan Chief Executive
allegedly issued the permit without knowing an
earlier negotiation between the Engineer and the
developer.

The Engineer infuriated and felt cheated by this
act blew cover saying the Coordinating Director
might have taken a lesser amount though he
(Engineer) was demanding GH¢80,000.00.

Currently, there is a split among Assembly members
as some throw their weight behind the Coordinating
Director with the others supporting the Engineer.

Adom News is learning that the outcome of this
case may affect some Assembly members linked to
projects awarded and are yet to be paid for as
monies for these could go back to chest.
