The Member of Parliament for Assin Central, Hon. Kennedy Ohene Agyapong is asking Mrs. Marietta Brew Appiah-Oppong to resign from her position as the Attorney General and Minister of Justice after a Supreme Court ruling for a refund of the 47 million Euros which was dubiously paid into Waterville Holdings account.
The Supreme Court by a unanimous decision ruled in favour of former Attorney General and Minister of Justices, Mr. Martin Amidu in his suit filed against Waterville Holdings for illegal payment of money into the company’s accounts.
Mr. Amidu however, prayed the court to order Waterville holdings to refund monies which were dubiously paid into the company’s accounts back into the Ghana’s consolidated funds.
Meanwhile Hon. Ken Agyapong who was speaking on Adom TV’s “Pampaso” programme called for heads to roll at the A-G’s department from a perspective that Ghana could never retrieve the money from Waterville holdings if some persons at the A-G’s department were still occupying their positions.
According to the Lawmaker, Mrs. Marietta Brew offered direct assistance to Waterville and Mr. Alfred Agbesi Woyome in duping the country and thus described no logic for her to have come out to declare that the A-G’s department was solely behind Mr. Amidu’s bid to retrieve Ghana’s money from Waterville.
He further descended heavily on Solicitor General and the Chief State Attorney at the Attorney Generals department, Mr. Nerquaye Tetteh as a potential threat in Ghana’s bid to retrieve the 47m Euro from Waterville after he (Nerquaye) suspiciously transferred an amount of about 400,000 dollars into his wife’s account after these dubious transactions were made.
The outspoken MP again called for the removal of the First deputy Speaker of Parliament, Mr. Ebo Barton Oduro for spearheading the payment of the money into Waterville’s accounts, adding that his action does not abet his position into the high office as a First deputy Speaker.
Hon Agyapong however, called for the establishment of an independent commission to strictly ensure that Waterville refund all 47m Euros in the shortest possible time.
