Ernest Owusu Bempah has challenged Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, the Member of Parliament for North Tongu, to take concrete action against corruption. He specifically urged Ablakwa to demonstrate his commitment by addressing high-profile cases.
Bempah cited the case of Sedinam, the former boss of the Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC), who was found guilty by a competent court for looting state property. He emphasized that if Ablakwa is genuinely fighting corruption, he should take the initiative to bring Sedinam to justice. “If you claim to be fighting corruption, we have a clear case of a woman who has been found guilty of looting state property,” Bempah stated.
Bempah further accused the government of selectively pursuing corruption cases, focusing on those lacking merit while ignoring more significant high-profile cases. He expressed that this selective approach undermines confidence in their commitment to combat corruption.
Additionally, Bempah called for a revival of the Airbus corruption case related to the purchase of airplane parts during the tenure of former President John Atta Mills. He argued that this significant case has not been thoroughly investigated and suggested that it is essential for accountability, especially considering that Atta Mills established an investigative committee due to serious concerns about corruption.
