Four officers of the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service led by an Assistant Superintendent of Police (ASP) on Monday morning stormed the Spintex residence of former Power Minister, Dr Kwabena Donkor, in connection with investigations into the AMERI deal.
Dr Donkor in a radio interview with Accra based Class FM said they told him he was being investigated for willfully causing financial loss with regards to the AMERI deal.
The Pru East MP’s pendrives and laptop were reportedly seized by the officers.
The officers got to Dr Donkor’s private residence while he was still asleep. Dr Donkor was alerted of their presence by his security man.
The Mahama administration, in the heat of the dumsor crisis in 2015, entered into a $510million deal with AMERI for the supply of power plants to mitigate the power crisis.
The then-opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) as well as Civil Society Organisations such as IMANI and Africa Centre for Energy Policy (ACEP) criticised the deal saying the government could have gone for the same deal at almost half the price.

I'm day dreaming how Trump's government will enter Obama's Secretary of energy's house with the cops? All these learned folks still can not learn democracy with dignity. They decide to choose & pick which will work for Ghana after 58 years of independence. WHY?
Whether Military tactics or borboobor tactics, ppl must be accountable to the we the citizens. Afterall, any sound minded person knew that deal was full of sh1t
Are we in Demoncracy of Military rule, time will tell
Man kapoo could be an 1di0t or he is behind time for more than 365 days. Is Dr. Donkor still in office. Wo dzimi nu ba abonti.
So Dr. Donkor got the information and just last week wanted to burn his office on the 10th floor of the Job 600(State House)?
