Frank Agyekum and others face BNI today
Audrey Micah, Ghanadot
Accra, June 11, Ghanadot - The
former Deputy Minister of Information, Mr. Frank Agyekum, is
expected to report to the Bureau of National Investigation (BNI)
today for discussions.
Though reasons for his invitation is not yet known, sources
say the former minister of Information will not spend mush
time there.
On the other hand, media reports say the Mr Agyekum is
expected to answer questions on a GH¢86,915.85 (¢869
million) contract he awarded to Plexiform Ventures for the
renovation of the offices of the Information Minister and
his deputy and the washroom of the ministry.
According to a report from the Daily Graphic, although some
portions of the work, which involved the fixing of new floor
tiles were done, the manner in which the Chief Director of
the Ministry, Mr D. A. Y. Sampong wrote a letter to the
Ministry of Finance and Economic Planning, dated May 29,
2009, without the knowledge of the substantive Minister, Mrs
Zita Okaikoi, raised suspicion.
Mr. Agyekum’s call comes in less than two weeks
after the former Chief of Staff,
Mr Kwadwo Mpiani, was invited by the BNI for a wide range of
questioning.
Mr. Sampong, the Deputy Finance and Administration Director
identified only as Mr Denkyira and the Principal Accountant
of the ministry, Mr Lawrence Dzakpaa, have already been
quizzed by the BNI.
Also, Mr. Sammy Crabbe, Greater Accra Regional Chairman of
the NPP, has also been invited by the BNI to answer
questions on the struggling Ghana International Airlines.
When asked whether he knew the questions he would be asked,
said it may be because he has shares in GIA and the BNI need
some explanations on how he came by that.
