Ghanaian MP Demands Probe into Minister's Mysterious Dollar Gift

Ghanaian MP Calls for Investigation into Minister's Dollar Gift Nalerigu-Gambaga, Ghana – The Member of Parliament (MP) for Nalerigu-Gambaga, Mumuni Mohammed Nurudeen, has filed formal petitions with the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ), the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP), and the Police Criminal Investigations Department (CID). The petitions demand a thorough investigation into the source of a significant amount of US dollars gifted by Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, a Minister of State. "We want them to conduct an investigation into the matter," stated MP Nurudeen during a press conference. "We also want to know whether this constitutes a potential conflict of interest and abuse of office." The MP's concerns center around the propriety of a public official receiving such a large sum of money and the potential violation of relevant laws and codes of conduct. This incident follows previous controversies involving the handling of funds by public officials, underscoring the ongoing need for transparency and accountability in Ghanaian governance. The investigations are expected to shed light on the source of the funds and determine whether any laws have been broken. The outcome will have implications for both the Minister and the integrity of public service in Ghana.
