The National Democratic Congress (NDC) has issued a 7-day ultimatum to retrieve monies paid to some persons involved in the Agyapa deal.

The NDC says failure by the Akufo-Addo government to take steps to retrieve the monies, they will face their wrath through a series of protests and legal actions.

The party’s General Secretary, Johnson Asiedu Nketia addressing a press briefing on Tuesday, said the president has up to seven days to take that action or get ready for what is coming at him.

Communications Officer of the NDC Sammy Gyamfi also put in a word and said if the NPP government fails to act the country will witness the biggest demonstration to ever.

“They should brace themselves for the biggest demonstration ever seen in the history of this country. In the first week of December this year, if Ken Ofori-Atta and Gabby Otchere-Darko, in particular, don’t refund the billions of taxpayers monies they have been paid, we will demonstrate,” he stated.

 

A Corruption Risk Assessment conducted by Martin Amidu stated that there was reasonable suspicion of bid-rigging and a high risk of corruption activity in the selection process of the deal.

The findings also uncovered cases of alleged manipulation of the procurement process by the Ministry of Finance by adding an unapproved rider for collaboration with a Ghanaian firm.

Even though critics have called for the withdrawal of the deal, Mr Akufo-Addo has instructed the Finance Minister to return the Agyapa Royalties Agreement to Parliament for a review after the Office of the Special Prosecutor forwarded its report to him.
