A Singaporean businessman, Toh You Kang, and Emmanuel Nii Ashie Moore, Greater Accra Regional Chairman of the ruling (NDC), are locked in a legal battle over accusations of defrauding each other.
The issue came to light when Kang filed a human rights case at the Human Rights Division of the High Court in Accra, seeking compensation of GH¢20 million for what he describes as violations of his rights and the recovery of $800,000 he claims to have paid to Ashie Moore.
How Toh met Ashie Moore According to Kang's motion, supported by a 66-paragraph affidavit, he was introduced to Ashie Moore through a Chinese business partner, Liang Liu Bing, while seeking to enter the Ghanaian market with his electric cable supply business.
Accusations Ashie Moore allegedly convinced Kang to part with a cumulative $800,000 in exchange for promised contracts with the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) worth millions of dollars.
