Three persons who describe themselves as citizens of Ghana with interest in the fight against corruption have petitioned the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) to investigate the involvement of the Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia in the PDS deal.
The Petitioners are; Issifu Seidu Kudus Gbeadese, Elikem Kotoko, Stephen Kwabena Attuh.
According to them, they want the OSP to:
i. Pursuant to section 3(1)(a)(b)(c) and (d) of the Office of Special Prosecutor Ad, 2017(Act 959), we request the Special prosecutor to investigate the complicity or otherwise of the V, President of the Republic of Ghana, H.E. Dr. Mahmoud Bawumia and the role he played at the meeting he chaired, which authorized MiDA to accept the downgrade of the required Bank Guarantee to Insurance Guarantee per Conditions Precedents numbers 24 and 31 of the PDS agreement.
ii. We, the undersigned citizens of Ghana, also, request the Special Prosecutor to investigate and unravel the circumstances leading to such a decision to vary the conditions precedent into conditions subsequent, which effectively led ECG to transfer the assets of ECG to PDS and in consequence, causing Ghana to lose the second tranche of the compact of MCC to the tune of 5190 million.
iii. Pursuant to sections 2(b) and 3(1)(d) of the Office of Special Prosecutor Ad, 2017 (Ad 959), we request the special prosecutor to recover the about 54.25 million of the taxpayer’s money PDS sanctioned to be withdrawn from the ECG operating accounts to secure the fabricated Insurance Guarantee, at a time PDS did not have any legitimate right over the assets of ECG, and as a result PDS could not authorize for any such payments to be made out of the operating account of ECG.
iv Finally, we the undersigned citizens of Ghana, request the office of the Special Prosecutor to undertake investigations into any related matter which led to the termination of the PDS deal and the cost to the taxpayers of Ghana.
