AY3 KA BRING IT ON!!! A 2003 Serious Fraud Office (SFO), now referred to as the Economic and Organised Crime Office(EOCO) report available with the Republic newspaper indicted several leading members of the party, including NPP financier, Mr. Ken Ofori-Atta, the cousin of the NPP’s flagbearer, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo as having defrauded pensioners in the infamous Obotan scandal. The scandal involved Ken Ofori-Atta and his conspirators fleecing the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) of over US$ 2.24 million in a phony residential property project by misrepresenting HFC Bank, misusing SSB Investments without the knowledge of the Bank, and using his Directorship of Enterprise Insurance and Databank to perpetuate fraud on pension funds. When the SFO report was released to the then Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Nana Akufo Addo, no action was taken by the state to secure justice for the people of Ghana. The SFO proffered criminal charges bordering on conspiracy and fraud on Ken Ofori-Atta and his partner Kelli Gadzekpo, Ekow Awoonor, a Director of SSB investment (A company which Ken Ofori-Atta was a Director and held major stakes in). Others were George Otoo, a Director at Enterprise Insurance (which belongs to Ken Ofori-Atta and Kelli Gadzekpo), Mr. Charles Asare, the then Director-General of SSNIT and Daniel Seddoh, a Director at Obotan Developers Limited. These individuals are all linked to the NPP and were major players during the party’s regime between 2000 and 2008. therepublicnewsonline/politics/pension-suckers-2-24m-obotan-scandal-the-devils-in-the-detail/
