The alleged criminal enterprise involved the purported provision of secured internet services to Ghana Water Limited by the erstwhile Bureau of National Communications (BNC).
The contract documents showed that Ghana Water was to pay BNC the sum of GH₵650,000 every two weeks for secured internet services from BNC.
Dr Dominic Ayine, the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, at a press briefing said however, for purposes of the payment, Mr Adu Boahene provided the account details of his company, BNC Communication Bureau Limited, to Ghana Water Limited, which religiously paid for the internet services.
He said so, every month, Mr. Adu Boahene’s company received a total sum of GH₵1.3million from Ghana Water Limited in exchange for internet services provided by the government.
“Our investigations have revealed that, conservatively, Mr. Adu Boahene received in excess of GH₵6,000,000 from Ghana Water Limited, ” he said.
He said the reason they delayed in filing charges was because they wanted to be sure that the transactions were not in any way interrelated,
“We are about completing the docket on that investigation and will charge him and his accomplices in that criminal enterprise separately,” he added.
The Attorney-General said significant progress had been made in other investigations being conducted in relation to the ORAL briefs presented to him in February 2025.
He said the investigations by the National Intelligence Bureau had been equally thorough under the direction of its Director General, Mr. Alhassan Kipo and guided by the team in my office.
He said that in respect of the Skytrain matter, they had completed investigations and would be filing charges hopefully next week.
Dr Ayine said they have established that the two million dollars paid by the Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund was paid without board approval.
He said the only persons who knew and acted on the payment were the former CEO, Mr. Solomon Asamoah and the former board chairman, Prof. Ameyaw Ekumfi.
“Both will be charged next week, and some of the Board Members have offered to testify as witnesses for the prosecution, and I am considering their offers,” he added.
He said the investigation in the National Service ghost-names scandal had also progressed well, and “we will be filing charges against some of the persons involved from the first week of May.”
Other matters such as National Cathedral, Mathematical Sets, and Senior High School WIFI are also nearing completion, and dockets are being prepared for prosecutions to begin.
