Shocking: Akufo-Addo Milking Ghanaians In The Name Of Covid-19 For The Benefit Of His Family – Minority Lifts Lid

Minority in Parliament have expressed concerns over supposed shady deals and contracts government have in the name of Covid-19 engaged in.

At a press conference in Accra Thursday, October 22, 2020 addressed by the Minority Leader, Mr Haruna Iddrisu, he noted that government had paid a sum of GH¢10,309,919 as insurance premium to Enterprise Insurance, a subsidiary of the Enterprise Group, partnered by Finance Minister, Ken Ofori Atta to provide insurance to frontline health workers who are battling the pandemic.

Furthermore, government have had a contract with the The Peters Family Company Limited, a company allegedly owned by Akufo-Addo’s close friend (Benedict Peters) to conduct Covid test to Ghanaians returning home.

“We all know the faces behind Enterprise Group. At least, we know that the Minister of Finance, Mr Ken Ofori-Atta, and cousin of President Nana Addo, is a beneficiary owner of the Enterprise Group. “At a time that Ghanaians and their companies are struggling due to COVID-19, our President did not find it necessary to, at least, open up to other companies in the insurance industry through a competitive bidding processes,” Haruna Iddrisu said.

“All the President did is to hand-pick his cousin’s company and doled out GH¢10 million-plus under the cover of insurance premium for health workers,” he added.

He continued: “The Peters Family Company Limited itself is registered as an offshore in Dominica. It is trite knowledge that The Peters Family Company Limited is owned by Nigerian businessman Benedict Peters; a friend of President Nana Addo.

“The Minority is not only concerned about this shady deal, which is a well-crafted scheme to cash-in on poor Ghanaian travellers who are desirous of returning home but also about the ability of the Frontiers Healthcare Services Limited to deliver the very services for which the poor Ghanaian passenger pays one hundred and fifty dollars (US$150) each”.

“The simple fact is the company has no capacity to conduct a single COVID-19 test”, Mr Iddrisu said.
