National Security petitioned to investigate Manso Nkwata DCE over alleged retention of excavators

The petition follows an earlier demand letter dated July 18, 2026, in which the petitioner’s solicitors alleged that the DCE owed an outstanding balance of GHS600,000 relating to the purchase of two other excavators and had also failed to return two excavators allegedly rented to him after defaulting on rental payments.

A businessman has petitioned the National Security Secretariat, in Accra requesting an investigation into the alleged unlawful retention of two hydraulic excavators by a District Chief Executive (DCE), for Manso Mkwanta in the Ashanti region while also calling for the recovery of the machines.

The petition asks National Security to investigate the matter, recover the excavators, return them to the petitioner if ownership is established, and take any action deemed appropriate under the law against any person found to have acted unlawfully.
