<\/a><\/div>\nFormer Deputy Minister of Power, John Jinapor has described the police raid at his residence\u00a0 Friday morning as \u2018traumatizing\u2019 to his family.<\/p>\n
The Former deputy Power Minister\u2019s house was raided by some personnel of the Ghana Police Service and National Security on Friday morning in connection with the 2015 Ameri-deal.<\/p>\n
The cost of the AMERI deal was $510m and received Parliamentary approval on March 20, 2015.<\/p>\n
However, the current government contends that the country had been short-changed by AMERI, stating that, the contractor, PPR, actually built and financed the plant at a cost of $360 million, yet AMERI, which secured the deal, forwarded a bill of $510 million in the agreement.<\/p>\n
But according to Mr Jinapor, the police men in charge of raid were armed with AK 47 assault rifles which caused fear and panic in his house.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy children came out, saw the police men and were much traumatized. They searched everywhere. I was on my way to the parliament. The two policemen were with guns. They said they had a warrant to search my house for documents of the Ameri-deal. They refused to give me a copy of the warrant or the name of whoever authorized it\u2026\u201d he explained on Accra based Okay FM.<\/p>\n
John Jinapor indicated that, the policemen refused to allow him to go to Parliament claiming they have it was instructions from above.<\/p>\n
\u201cI told them they can\u2019t obstruct me from going to Parliament per constitution. They refused. I asked them who the authorized person from above is. They gave no name. Initially I attempted to resist. But I didn\u2019t for my kids\u2026\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
Mr Jinapor said the only item the police took from his home was his mobile phone.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey said they wanted my laptop. I told them it was at parliament. I indicated they follow me to see the speaker. They refused. They told me to do that myself. They wanted my phone. I could not give them because they were endangering my life but I took the sim out gave it to them\u2026\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
The former deputy Power Minister said he has nothing to hide insisting that negotiations in the Ameri power deal were done in due process.<\/p>\n
\u201cI will not run away from the Ministry. Whatever I know I will say. I know I am clean. It doesn\u2019t bother me. But what I don\u2019t like is that my kids are not themselves\u2026\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the Ghana Police Service (GPS), he said, he will be liable to recover his phone on Monday, July 31, 2017 at 1pm.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have video evidence. If anyone denies I will produce the evidence. They said Monday I should come to the police station at 1 pm knowing very well that I have a parliamentary duty. They gave me a letter from Ghana Police Service. What bothers me is that my kids are traumatized\u2026\u201d he disclosed.<\/p>\n
