Prosecute me if ...

The Foreign Affairs and Regional Integration Minister, Alhaji Mohammed Mumuni has indicated his preparedness to give up his position and also would avail himself for prosecution if found guilty of breaching the Constitution of the country.
“It is my solemn pledge to the good people of Ghana that should it be shown or proven that I, Alhaji Mohammed Mumuni, has stolen a single pesewa of the taxpayer’s money or taken a personal benefit whether directly or indirectly, or been corrupt or abused my office, or been guilty of “By failing to properly manage State funds leading to their loss, Alhaji Mumuni’s acts have gravely prejudiced the interests of the State. Monies that would otherwise have been used to address the needs of the needy and less privileged have been lost. He is therefore unfit to occupy the office that he presently holds and must resign”, he noted.
It would be recalled that in the said audit report prepared by Messrs Baffour Awuah at the instance of the Auditor-General, the NVTI was cited as a conduit for siphoning an amount of over 19.6 billion old Ghana cedis of government funds to known and unknown persons, through huge and fraudulent payments to companies and enterprises as well as a member of individuals.
It made specific findings against Alhaji Mumuni and his other colleagues including Victor Selormey of blessed memory, who was then the Deputy Minister of Finance and the former Controller and Accountant-General, Mr. R.K. Tuffuor.
The report noted that the acts of omission and commission perpetrated by the former Minister and his colleagues in the release of an amount of 19 billion old Ghana cedis to the Director of NVTI did not only result in a financial loss to the state of over 15 billion old Ghana cedis, being total amount fraudulently paid out of the sum of 19 billion old Ghana cedis to private companies and individuals, for goods not supplied or services not rendered, but also constitute misconduct and gross negligence under the provisions of the 1992 Constitution of the Republic of Ghana.
