“I’m not sure” – K.T Hammond unsure if OSP has questioned Kwabena Donkor over Berko bribery case
Former Power Minister Dr Kwabena Donkor’s lawyer says he is unsure whether his client has been contacted by Ghana’s Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) or US authorities following the conviction of former Tema Oil Refinery (TOR) Managing Director Asante Kwaku Berko.
Berko was convicted by a US federal jury in Brooklyn, New York, on charges linked to a scheme in which more than US$1 million in bribes were paid to Ghanaian officials in connection with the development and financing of a power plant involving Aksa Energy.
The OSP has disclosed that it provided investigative and evidentiary assistance to the US Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) through Ghana’s mutual legal assistance framework.
