The Office of the Special Prosecutor has been petitioned to investigate some allegations by Member of Parliament for Assin Central Constituency, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong.
The Assin Central MP Kennedy claims he was given GHS¢120,000 by the Chief of Staff to be given to Dome-Kwabenya’s Sarah Adwoa Safo to entice her to travel to Ghana to join parliamentary sittings.
Kennedy Agyapong also alleged that Adwoa Safo was flown into Ghana on a private jet through an arrangement fronted by the Chief of Staff.
In a petition, the Anti-graft group Crusaders Against Corruption-Ghana (CACG) has asked the Special Prosecutor to investigate the claims by Member of Parliament.
The group is also calling on the Special prosecutor to investigate the source of these funds and determine whether or not there is misappropriation of public funds from the office of the Chief of Staff.
