Gov’t Should Set Up A Fund To Support Other “Citizen Vigilantes”

Member of Parliament for Ayawaso West Wuogon of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Emmanuel Kyeremateng Agyarko says government should set up a fund in honour of the former Attorney General and Minister of Justice Martin Amidu who resolutely fought for the refund of some monies paid as judgment debt to construction firm, Waterville Holdings Ltd.

The former Attorney General who calls himself “Citizen Vigilante” on Friday triumphed in court over his suit against the company and two others, businessman Alfred Agbesi Woyome and Austro-Invest Limited to recoup huge sums he claimed were illegally paid to the respondents.

Austro-Invest was later struck out of the suit after being realized that the company was liquidated in Switzerland on July 26, 2011.

The Supreme Court on Friday ordered Waterville Holdings to refund all monies paid it in excess of €40 million in the judgment debt scandal to the Government of Ghana.

A nine-member Bench presided over by Justice Professor Date-Baah unanimously ruled that the company was undeserving of the payments.

The court also referred lawyers for the construction firm and Alfred Agbesi Woyome to the General Legal Council for disciplinary action to be taken against them for failing to do due diligence in their clients’ cases.

Speaking to the issue on Peace FM’s “Kokrokoo” on Monday, the NPP MP told host Kwame Sefa Kayi that a fund should be established to support the efforts of other “citizen vigilantes”.

“People like this need our support…I congratulate him. Let’s all mobilize resources and money so that when somebody is championing a course like this; it won’t be his burden,” he said.

NDC MP Tells MMDCEs: Adopt Pragmatic Preventive Approach To Forestall Fire Outbreaks

The NDC Member of Parliament (MP) for Juaboso in the Western Region, Hon Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, says Ghanaians should not rule out the possibility that the fires that have since razed various markets in the country may have occurred as a result of arson.

He strongly believes the fires are not “normal” and so, would not undervalue the assertion by President John Dramani Mahama that they may have been engineered by the ill-motives of some people in the nation.

Contributing to a panel discussion programme on Peace FM, he warned other market traders to take a cue from the recent happenings and be vigilant in order to avert any further fire outbreaks.

He was of the strong view that thorough investigations be carried out to ascertain the cause(s) of the persistent fire outbreaks.

“There’s something we have to investigate. There’s something definitely wrong. It has not occurred twice; it has occurred more than thrice. We should learn something from it…It’s not normal. I don’t believe (its just coincidental). It is not and it cannot be normal,” he opined.

He charged Municipal, Metropolitan and District Assemblies to adopt pragmatic preventive approach against the fires and also aid the traders to take precautionary measures.
