Three individuals identifying as Ghanaian nationals with a stake in combating corruption have filed a request with the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) to look into Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia’s role in the PDS transaction. Issifu Seidu Kudus Gbeadese, Elikem Kotoko, and Stephen Kwabena Attuh are the petitioners.
According to them, they want the OSP to Pursuant to section 3(1)(a)(b)(c) and (d) of the Office of Special Prosecutor Ad, 2017(Act 959), 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.
They 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.
They again 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 among others.
