The Greater Accra Regional Chairman of the ruling (NDC), Emmanuel Nii Ashie Moore, has reacted to reports of him being sued by a Singaporean businessman over an alleged $800,000 payment for failed Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) contracts.
A statement issued by the lawyer of the NDC regional chairman, Gideon Tettey Tetteh, indicated that the claim that his client took $800,000 from the said businessman, Toh You Kang, as payment for a cable-supply contract with the Electricity Company of Ghana that never materialised, is false.
It indicated that Toh You Kang, who is currently in the custody of security authorities, rather defrauded Ashie Moore and his business partners of about $3 million. "The suspect is alleged to have defrauded Mr Ashie Moore and his partners of $3 million.
The suspect is also being investigated by the Economic Crime Office for allegedly stealing $2.8 million from Mr Ashie Moore and partners. "A petition has been submitted to the Attorney General for the docket to be taken from the police, since it is beyond the threshold of the Police.
