The Co-chair of the Citizens Movement Against Corruption, Edem Senanu, has stated that the current controversy surrounding former Member of Parliament for Nabdam, Moses Asaga, owning properties in Dubai is \u201cmuch ado about nothing.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\nThis statement follows a report by the UK-based think tank, the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP). The report, titled \u201cHow Dirty Money Finds a Home in Dubai Real Estate,\u201d published on May 14, 2024, implicated several former appointees of the Mahama administration, including Asaga and Inusah Fuseini. The report alleged that they had amassed real estate in Dubai worth millions of dollars during their tenure in power.<\/p>\n
The OCCRP report also highlighted Dubai\u2019s reputation for financial secrecy, suggesting it has become a sanctuary for funds from questionable sources.<\/p>\n
However, Asaga dismissed these accusations as baseless, asserting that his 30-year career and roles in key positions made acquiring such properties feasible.<\/p>\n
In support of Asaga, Edem Senanu, in an interview with Citi News, expressed scepticism over the accusations. He pointed out that the $133,000 price tag on the Dubai property does not seem excessive, especially when considering the remuneration of MPs and the cost of properties in Ghana.<\/p>\n
He added that the value of the property in question, when viewed in the context of Asaga\u2019s career and earnings, does not warrant the level of controversy it has generated.<\/p>\n
\u201cHonestly speaking, I don\u2019t think $133,000 in property amounts is too much, it doesn\u2019t seem out of line at all. I have a strong suspicion that, even though I don\u2019t have the figures, it could be MPs\u2019 remunerations. I assume that about 60% of that was spent on housing, and the 40%, when you save and multiply it over a period of time, shouldn\u2019t be out of line.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn fact, even in Ghana, I suspect you will find properties on the property market worth $150,000 up to $350,000. So, you need to do a little bit of research by asking yourself the property rate if you are buying properties in Ghana at the moment and the income of someone who works with GNPC from middle level to senior level.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have a strong suspicion that it may not be much I do about nothing in other instances, but in this particular instance, I don\u2019t see how $133,000 property should become an issue,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
