The Criminal Investigation Department (CID) has begun an investigation into corruption allegations levelled against three appointees of the President Nana Akufo-Addo-led administration.
They are the Minister of Communications, Mrs Ursula Owusu Ekuful, and the two Deputy Chief of Staff t the Presidency, Mr Francis Asenso-Boakye and Mr Samuel Abu Jinapor.
The investigations followed allegations of corruption made against Mrs Owusu Ekuful by the MP for Assin North, Kennedy Agyepong.
Other allegations of corruption were also made against the two deputy Chiefs of staff by Mr Agyepong and Hip Life musician, Mr Kwame Asare Obeng, popularly known as A Plus.
Allegations against Mrs Owusu Ekuful are in relation to the National Identification Authority (NIA), under the Ministry of Communications, which, according to Mr Agyepong, had disregarded his bid for a contract to print NIA cards in favour of more expensive bidders.
The investigations followed a directive by the President to the security agencies to investigate any allegations of corruption against his appointees.

When corruption issues were raised in a certain era not too long ago, the man in charge was dancing to "yentie obia" at a Kings palace. Change has really come.
'Nea wabre na odi', if it is a fair deal why not. when it come to professionalism you need a die heart party member to regulate things, he never said ALL contracts shd be assigned to him , but this contract is strategic and needed to be handle by a party member, she is given it out to NDC man. But Usler shd remember her efforts to the top is based from OMAN FM.
Ken wants to be the Ibrahim Miasma of this govt but he is not having his way. This NIA cards contract pains him Paa Hahaha
WHISTLE BLOWERS ON THE WAY. LET THEM INVESTIGATE, BUT WHAT HAPPENS IF THERE IS NO IOTA OF TRUTH. HE WHO ALLEGES MUST PROOF.
Well corruption should not have any party colors. During Mr Mahama's early days he said corruption was the thing of the past.If only he had someone in his party like Ken, he may have identified more than he has. Ken is a Journalist as well as an MP and in this case he is being a journalist. Fish out all the corruption from the system irrespective of who it may be . Ghana need to move forward instead of having these corruption by night and nice minister by day. when you find something send a copy to Ken , u can be sure he will do the right thing . Big names who think can walk on water in filth and corruption should be made to bend their knees
Is Ken Agyepong an MP or a businessman? Is it not a conflict of interest if an MP is bidding for a govt contract?
