SAMUEL OKUDZETO MUST STEP DOWN We the members of the Citizens Awake Forum (C AF) wish to add our voice to the calls of the resignation of the Deputy Education Minister, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa in his involvement in the payment of $325,472 to the isofoton SA Okudzeto Ablakwa in his capacity as the then Deputy Information Minister knew very well that Isofoton SA did not have any contract with the Ghana government to warrant any payment. Rather, Ablakwa used his position in the ministry and mounted platforms defending Isofoton to reasons only know best to him. It was rather unfortunate as a Deputy Minister of the State, sworn before the President to uphold, preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the Republic of Ghana as by law established acted as the negotiator, the arbitrator as well as the spoke person for the Isofoton Today, if the court in his wisdom had justified that for an individual to pursue a mission in the interest of Isofoton rather than that of the state had his own motive and agenda It would be recalled that Ablakwa at one hand, called the former Attorney General, Mr Martin Amidu ordering him to endorse the payment made to Isofoton SA. In our opinion, Ablakwa should have joined hands with Mr. Martin Amidu to retrieve payments made to Isofoton SA. It is obvious from the Supreme Court ruling that Ablakwa used his ministry and position to help Isofoton to deplete the state pulse only to enrich him What one sees not to understand is why Ablakwa in his right frame of mind acted against the state sworn to protect. Could it be that he benefited from the payments? We are calling on the government to set up a committee made of the political parties’ representatives to conduct a thorough investigation to unearth why Ablakwa got himself entangled in the payment of over $300,000 to the Isofoton. Long live Ghana! Long live CAF! Signed: ERNEST KOJO SMITH, a farmer and the General Convener (CAF)
