Ibrahim Mahama warned GRA not to withdraw cheques - Amaliba

The Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA) went ahead to
draw cheques from an account belonging to former
President John Mahama’s brother, Ibrahim,
despite an earlier warning to the
revenue-collecting state agency to hold on with
the withdrawals until certain payments had been
made into it by the government, private legal
practitioner Abraham Amaliba has said.

His revelations come amidst a two-week ultimatum
given to Mr Mahama to pay some GHS10 million that
two of his companies – MBG Limited and Holman
Brothers – owe the state as duties in connection
with some heavy duty equipment he cleared at the
Tema port in 2015 while his brother was
President.

Assin Central MP Kennedy Agyapong, who first blew
the lid on Mr Mahama, claimed the businessman
issued 44 dud cheques to the GRA in connection
with the payment of the duties.

Speaking on Class91.3FM’s Executive Breakfast
Show on Tuesday 25 April, however, Mr Amaliba said
Mr Mahama gave express warning to GRA not to
withdraw the cheques since he was awaiting the
payment of some monies into it by the government.

“My knowledge is that there were accounts
existing and cheques were issued from that
account. Now do you know that there was
information from Ibrahim to GRA not to present
certain cheques because government has not paid
and there was no money in it? Has that come to
your attention? So that’s why some of us are
asking: ‘Who asked GRA, who prompted GRA to
nonetheless go and present those cheques
regardless of the warning given by Ibrahim to them
not to proceed?’” Mr Amaliba told Moro Awudu.

“Who asked GRA nonetheless to present those
cheques for the creation of that offence as
issuing dud cheques because when you issue a
cheque, you either tell the person he should go
and cash it or you give a counter-order that:
‘Don’t go until you crosscheck with me.’”

Meanwhile, Ningo Prampram MP Sam Nartey George,
who has been speaking for Mr Mahama on the issue,
told Accra-based Joy FM on Tuesday that “not all
cheques issued bounced”.
