Scandals are becoming normal in Nana Addo government. It is worrying that someone who pledged to protect the public purse can allow free flow of dissipation of the public purse without action.
The latest scandal has to do with the Bulk Oil Storage and Transport (BOST). According to an exposè done by a US based journalist Kelvin Tailor’ there is massive rot at BOST. He said before an oil marketing (OMC) can lift fuel at BOST, money must pass through some hands. The shocking part is that persons involved in this corrupt practices are related to the Chief of Staff Akosua Fremah Opare, Gabby Otchere Darko and President Akufo Addo. In fact Kelvin revealed the son of the Chief of Staff has been stationed at BOST to facilitate this rot. Kelvin made this known in his ‘with all due respect’ program monitored by CitizenOne.
He said BOST has consistently been featured yearly in scandals upon scandals since Akufo Addo became President.
It has thus become a ritual that almost every time a scandal broke in this government, BOST will surely get featured.
Kelvin alleged that the Managing Director of BOST Edwin Provençal is one dangerous Person who is milking Ghana with the help of highly placed officials in Government like the Chief of Staff Frema Opare and the President of Ghana Nana Akufo Addo. Check the full post below;
“In our lastest scandal and documents in our possession shows that Edwin Provençal has consistently used tactical means through the court to milk BOST through dubious judgement debt payments where he in turn receives his share and kick backs.
In one instance, a land that was sold to BOST for 5 million dollars jumped to 9 million dollars when the matter went to court.
What Edwin Provençal does is that, he always connive with complainants to steal from Ghana.
In the land issue raised above, BOST made an initial payment of 3 million dollars to the land owner before delaying to pay the remaining 2 million dollars.
Our understanding is that Edwin Provençal went into a secret Agreement with the land owner to take BOST to court, have their accounts frozen and ask for 5 Million dollars payment even though the land owners has already been paid 3 million dollars.
Once the account of BOST gets frozen, they are forced to pay the 5 million dollars to the complainant and the complainant takes 2 million out of the 5 million to add up to what was initially paid as 3 million and the remaining 3 million dollars from the 5 million dollars goes to the MD of BOST Edwin Provençal.
Edwin Provençal then disburse these monies to the Flagstaff house where the Chief Of Staff Staff Akosua Frema Opare get her share.
Akufo Addo the President gets his share Gabby Otchere Darko cousin of the President.
The Son of the Chief of Staff Frema Opare serves as the conduit at BOST where these monies are kid through.
Nana Osei as he is know is the cartel leader at BOST who takes 6000 cedis from every tanker driver before they are loaded with fuel to leave BOST yards across the country.
No tanker leaves the yard without a none receipt payment of 6000 cedis to the son of the Chief of Staff.
This has been the leading reason fuel tankers went on strike recently for always being forced to pay unapproved amounts to the son of the Chief of Staff.
The Managing Director Edwin Provençal equally has a lapdog in the person of Cecil Osae Kwapong who is placed at BOST to take all bribes and kickbacks on behalf of the MD”
The disturbing part is that, the presidency will not even react to this allegation. Previously it will set up a committee to clear the officials involved. In recent times, Nana Addo has chosen to be the devil’s advocate; hear no evil, see no evil. We shall however closely monitor this development and report back to our followers.
