The petition and investigation both happened around the same period that Mr Demelevo surcharged Mr Osafo Marfo for supervising the payment of $1 million to private firm Kroll & Associates for “no work done”, as captured in the Auditor-General’s 2018 report. “If President Akufo-Addo were truthful and principled, he would order further investigations into the Kroll corruption scandal following which prosecutions will commence against the Senior Minister”. “Why is Mr Osafo Marfo still in office when there is sufficient evidence detailing his involvement in the award and payment of almost GHS5.5 million to Kroll & Associates without prior approval from the PPA? President Akufo-Addo must demonstrate that no one is above the laws of Ghana, including Mr Yaw Osafo Marfo”.
