Okudzeto Ablakwa is destroying his political career - NPP MP

He said the young lawmaker should desist from his usual mischief lest he will destroy his career.

Annoh-Dompreh gave this counsel in relation to the alleged $12m million dollar embassy deal by the Ministry of Foreign Affair and Regional Integration in Norway.

Mr Ablakwa had accused Ms Ayorkor Botchwey of cost inflation in connection with Ghana’s attempt to buy a property in Norway to serve as its Chancery, an allegation the sector minister had denied.

In a press conference to address the controversy, the NPP MP for Nsawam-Adoagyiri said: "This clearly is an offer being put out there by an offeree, it has not been accepted, so, it cannot become a binding agreement. You don’t need to be a lawyer to know this. I called him [Ablakwa] and pointed it out to him that he may be doing his mischief but if he is not careful, he will destroy his reputation as a young man. There is no contract existing".

He said the deal hasn't reached the level where the government of Ghana has paid money for it therefore the brouhaha generated by Okudzeto Ablakwa was uncalled for.

“The ministry provided this information, and of course, a letter from the Ministry of Finance, which captured a certain GHS15 million. How on earth will anybody impute criminality or criminal intent to somebody who has been so transparent to us", he said.

“You have written a letter demanding further and better particulars, she has followed up on the letter religiously and provided these further and better particulars. If the minister had an intent of defrauding the state, she wouldn’t have displayed all these figures to us."
