Kofi Adams, NDC National Organizer

Government is witch-hunting Ibrahim – NDC
The opposition National Democratic Congress(NDC)
has described as a witch-hunt the tussle between
the Ghana Revenue Authority(GRA) and the brother
of former President, Ibrahim Mahama over
outstanding import tariffs.

The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) has
ordered Mr Ibrahim Mahama, to pay GH¢12.7m to the
state by May 8, 2017.

The amount represents duty for construction
equipment he cleared at the Tema Port and issued
about 44 cheques which were not honoured.

He was picked up by the anti-corruption agency
last week Tuesday in relation to an ongoing
investigation over the cheques.

Mr Mahama, owner of the construction company,
Engineers & Planners, met EOCO on Friday for the
third time in the week.

Commenting on the fall out from the matter, the
National Organizer of the largest opposition, Kofi
Adams contends that the moves being made by the
GRA and the supposed involvement of the Economic
and organized Crime Office(EOCO) in the matter
amounts to a with-hunt by the governing NPP.

“Clearly so this is an act to witch-hunt
business persons and former officials of the
previous administration, when they have engaged
with the relevant institutions of state who are
very much aware and are presently informed of the
arrangements they have in place to fulfill
whatever obligation they have to the state. It is
quite clear that the institutions involved
here-the GRA and the companies that belongs to
Ibrahim Mahama have not reported any matter to
EOCO. Indeed according to GRA, they are dealing
with whatever challenges they have faced in the
way they have always dealt with other issues that
have confronted them. And they have not invited
EOCO to this matter. And they say they are very
well in place and in position to deal with the
matter as set out in their mandate and nobody
understands the role of EOCO in this matter,” he
told Accra-based Citi FM.
