Citi News sources say former Water Resources, Works and Housing Minister, Boniface Siddique Abubakar been examined by a panel for various sums of money he allegedly took from the company to assist them in winning contracts.
Former Minister of State, Amadu Seidu is to follow in that order. Mabey and Johnson is a UK construction firm, which in 2009 was found by a UK Court to have bribed a number of government officials in mainly third world countries in Africa and Asia to win construction contracts.
The names of a number of Ghanaian officials came up during the Southwark Court hearing. Two of those mentioned, George Sipa Yankey and Amadu Seidu were serving ministers at the time.
They subsequently resigned their posts to make way for investigations by CHRAJ. CHRAJ’s investigations into the bribery allegations was thwarted by a court order filed by some of the accused persons because they claimed then CHRAJ boss, Emile Short, made public comments on the investigations in an interview on Metro TV, which in their view prejudiced the inquiry.
After a protracted period of silence, the CID has taken over the investigations. Those implicated in the case include Kwame Peprah, Ahaji Baba Kamara, Alhaji Boniface Abubakar Sadique, Alhaji Amadu Seidu, Brigadier-General Lord Attivor, Dr Ato Quarshie and George Sipa Yankey.
