Kwame Adofo, Legal Practitioner

Jail Ibrahim Mahama - Lawyer Kwame Adofo
The Chief Executive Officer of Engineers and
Planners Ibrahim Mahama and brother of former
President John Mahama who has been accused of
evading taxes must go to jail if found guilty of
allegations leveled against him.

“If you commit an offense you have to pay for it
to serve as deterrent to those standing by
watching”, a private legal practitioner, Kwame
Adofo said on Kumasi-based Ultimate Fm

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) sympathizer asked
Ghanaians to put aside the silly notion that Mr.
Ibrahim Mahama is being witch hunted despite
public comments of government officials vowing
they will ensure the brother of the former
President is sent to jail.

‘Assuming I do not like you and I say you should
be jailed does it mean you are going to be hauled
to jail straight away? You will have to be put
before a court first for the state to provide
evidence against you”, he educated.

He admonished President Akufo-Addo to handle the
case with keen interest to ensure appointees and
party functionaries will not follow b suit by
allegedly defrauding the state.

“People are watching and if nothing happens to
Ibrahim Mahama people are also going to copy and
sign fake cheques to transact business with state
institutions”

Lawyer Kwame Adofo called for prosecution of the
Chief Executive Officer of Ghana Revenue Authority
and other officials at the harbour for covering up
such criminal deals.

Ibrahim Mahama is allegedly being investigated by
EOCO over specific cheques he issued to the
customs division of the Ghana Revenue Authority
(GRA) at the ports to clear heavy duty equipment
imported into the country.

He has been ordered to pay GH¢12.7m to the Ghana
Revenue Authority by May 8, 2017.

The amount represents duty for goods he cleared at
the Tema Port with the said dud cheques in 2015
plus interest. The interest on the amount was
worked by the Ghana Revenue Authority
