NPP has never used nolle prosequi to shield appointees – Baffour Awuah

“I want to put it on record that at no point has the New Patriotic Party ever, whilst in government, filed nolle prosequi in respect of any of our appointees, former appointees, persons who are exposed to us sympathetically stand trial for corruption or corruption-related offence and then nolle prosequi has been filed in relation to it,” he said.

Manhyia South MP Nana Agyei Baffour Awuah has defended the New Patriotic Party’s record on corruption prosecutions, insisting that no NPP government has used nolle prosequi to discontinue corruption cases against its appointees.

His comments come amid renewed scrutiny of the AKSA Power transaction following allegations by the United States Department of Justice that former Goldman Sachs banker Tim Leissner Berko participated in a scheme to bribe Ghanaian government officials to secure and retain business linked to a power plant project in Ghana.
