Kufour Involved In Panama Papers Scandal

Dr. Edward Omane Boamah [Communications minister] has dared former President John Kufuor to respond to the Panama papers that refers his son as one of the huge number of worthy individuals who use tax havens to hide their wealth.

The Panama Papers - dubbed the greatest leak ever has shown former President John Addo kufuor whose offshore company, according to the document, allegedly controlled a $75,000 bank account for his father and the former First Lady, Theresa Kufuor.


On Saturday, Dr. Omane Boamah called on the former President to respond to  the claims in the leaks instead of retorting to John Mahama's comment over who, among the NDC and NPP has developed the Volta region, the most.

“We know what has happened with the Panama papers, David Cameron is under pressure, we know what is happening with Transparency International and if President Kufuor was not going to speak to this, he had no business wading into this particular issue.

Beyond his mistake about he having established the Ho Polytechnic, he also spoke about the fact the NDC officials chopped the Keta Sea defence project money. The viciousness with which they prosecuted the NDC officials including Abudakpui and Tsatsu, I believe if they had any evidence that the NDC had spent any money, they would have been in jail by now. "
