The Komenda-Edina-Eguafo-Abrem (KEEA) Municipal Assembly has collaborated with the Ghana Police to investigate the circumstance that led to the alleged embezzlement of a building permit fee paid by Dr Papa Kwesi Nduom.
In a statement issued by the Municipal Environmental Coordinator, Mr Alex Damptey said the assembly’s preliminary investigations revealed that Yorke Properties, Dr Nduom’s business in-charge of the Nduom University applied for permit and subsequently submitted their documents and drawings of the University in 2014.
It said they (Yorke Properties) were made to pay an assessment fee of GH¢22,000.00 by the then Technical officer acting as the Building Inspector, Mr Emmanuel Blankson, which was receipted by the revenue cashier of the Assembly, Mr Kwashie Rufus Kudadzi.
According to the statement, the GH¢22,000.00 paid by Dr. Nduom did not reflect in the cash books of the Assembly. The matter was reported to the Police to investigate the issue and come out with their findings.
Dr Nduom, a Founder and Flag bearer of the Progressive Peoples Party in the just ended 2016 election and as well as an entrepreneur was reported to be constructing a university in the KEEA Municipality without the necessary building permits and this became a political discourse during the 2016 electioneering campaign.
