Conflicted Ken Ofori-Atta and Charles Adu Boahen<\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n\nNorth Tongu MP, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has alleged that the two Ministers have been involved in clear cases of conflict of interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The former Deputy Education Minister said the private companies of the two appointees have been involved in government contracts, a development he said smacks of conflict of interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr Ablakwas is disappointed the President has not acted on this situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201dWe have said it without number that there is a clear conflict of interest that arises. The Finance Minister\u2019s Data Bank is still a transaction advisor and is still receiving fees. The Minister of State, Charles Adu Boahen\u2019s Black Star Holdings, we have said without number\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c\u2026The President is not acting\u2026Finance Minister, Ken Ofori Atta and Charles Adu Boahen continue to profit or to benefit from this clear conflict of interest situation. So are we really committed to the fight against corruption, I don\u2019t see that?,\u201d he said in an interview on TV3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He further urged the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) to up its efforts in tackling the financial irregularities involving government officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
