The Ashanti regional Chairman for the New Patriotic Party, Mr. Bernard Antwi-Boasiako, has called for the arrest of former President John Dramani Mahama claiming that he is a master scam when it comes to falsifying business records.
The NPP Chairman popularly known as Chairman Wontumi told Wontumionline.com that under the presidency of John Mahama, he used the name of Ghana to transact several businesses but ended up falsifying documents.
“We can talk about the airbus saga, failed Hope City project, purchasing of ambulances, bad Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) which Mahama forced President Akufo-Addo’s government to pay GH¢12 billion for power not consumed. All this sets the foundation for Mahama to be arrested and charged by a criminal court in Ghana just like Donald Trump is facing in USA”, Chairman Wontumi said.
Former President Donald Trump pleaded not guilty to 34 felony criminal charges of falsifying business records in Manhattan criminal court Tuesday afternoon.
Trump surrendered and was placed under arrest Tuesday before he was arraigned in a historic and unprecedented court appearance, in which the former president heard the charges against him for the first time. While the arraignment was routine, the case is now poised to linger over Trump’s 2024 candidacy as he fights the charges both in court and in public.
What prosecutors are alleging: Prosecutors alleged that Trump sought to undermine the integrity of the 2016 election through a hush money scheme with payments made to women who claimed they had extramarital affairs with Trump. He has denied the affairs.
Trump was part of an unlawful plan to suppress negative information, including an illegal payment of $130,000 that was ordered by the defendant to suppress the negative information that would hurt his campaign, prosecutors alleged.
Trump “repeatedly and fraudulently falsified New York business records to conceal criminal conduct that hid damaging information from the voting public during the 2016 presidential election,” according to the charging documents.
