Gloria Akufo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\nPrivate legal practitioner, Victor Adawudu, has dragged the Attorney-General and the Bank of Ghana to court over the controversial 2.25 billion dollar bond issue in April.<\/p>\n
He is among other things praying the Supreme Court to direct the A-G, Gloria Akuffo and the Finance Ministry to furnish him with copies of documents in respect of the bond transaction.<\/p>\n
Mr Adawudu\u2019s action follows the failure by Gloria Akuffo to provide same in a petition by the lawyer in May this year to the A-G.<\/p>\n
Gloria Akuffo had told\u00a0Mr Adawudu that documents covering the bond issue are unavailable to her.<\/p>\n
\u201cI acknowledge receipt of your letter bearing reference number LL\/17\/26 and dated 4th May , 2017 on the above subject matter. Please be informed that the information being sought per your letter is not available to me and I am therefore unable to respond to the questions posed therein,\u201d she had responded.<\/p>\n
The Finance Ministry in April this year auctioned a total of 2.25 billion dollars in four bonds. The first two bonds, totalling 1.13 billion dollars, was issued at 15 and 7 years period with the same coupon of 19.75%.<\/p>\n
In addition, the Ministry of Finance raised the Cedi equivalent of 1.12 billion dollars in 5 and 10-year bonds via a tap-in arrangement.<\/p>\n
The Minority in Parliament has raised concerns over the bond issue and has called for a full-scale parliamentary probe into how some persons they referred to as very close friends of the Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta, purchased 95% of Ghana\u2019s recent 2.25 billion dollar bond.<\/p>\n
Mr\u00a0Adawudu told Joy News on Tuesday that he believes the Court will enforce his fundamental human right and compel the A-G to find and produce the documents.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe represents the government. It is her duty to get information from all the agencies to come and speak for government,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
