Ibrahim Mahama, the brother of former president John Mahama, has revealed that his company, Engineers and Planners, was paid GHC25 million to prepare the grounds for the AMERI power turbines.
In an interview with Accra-based Citi FM, Ibrahim stressed that the amount he took was so small that no foreign contractor would have accepted it.
He said it took his firm three days to complete work at the site, adding that he took the "small" amount to save the image of his brother, John Mahama, because, according to him, no other contractor was willing to do the work for the amount budgeted.
“The determination of doing that job is to save my brother’s name. If I hadn’t done it, no contractor would have done it,” he said.
Ibrahim is currently being investigated by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) for allegedly issuing dud cheques to the customs division of the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA).
He is said to be owing the GRA over GHC10 million after 44 cheques he issued to pay for the import duties on some heavy-duty equipment he imported into the country bounced.
He is said to have been directed by EOCO to submit his passport to the anti-financial crimes body, an indication that the charges against him are serious.

Does this man think Ghanaians are as gu11ible like him and his brother John Mahama, who buys V8 cars for their syc0hants ? Ibrahim can't say he did that work because of his brother Ex.President John Mahama becos in the end the State did paid him GhC25 Million and that is a big sum which could do a whole lots.
But you could not pay half of that monies you owe the State for the import Taxes of your equipment. See what your love for easy, che@p monies has landed you @varice.
Bull💩!!
That amount is even small.how can you live in a country and issue fake cheques.do you think the country is for your family.

Three days for 25m dollars ? Only for a ground preparations to put generator on it ? Is good Ghanaians change this corrupt and incompetent government.
What a load of bullocks! Are u kidding me? Why won't u say mere after all selasie Ibrahim who happens to be ur Bro's concubine made millions of dollars on this deal. Eoco has to probe further cos this bus branding chic selasie also was in on the deal. Greedy b*tch! Ibrahim made more than the amount he's stating. These money grabbing, power abusers, fraudsters, greedy b*stards evil morons should never be allowed back to power. After npp, ppp or cpp should come. Not these blood sucking mammals called mahama and his ndc. God forbid!!
