Kufuor government defrauded us – Isofoton

Country Representative of the Spanish firm Isofoton SA, Anane-Agyei Forson, claims the erstwhile Kufuor administration misled them into signing a contract under the pretense that it will seek Parliamentary approval.

The Spanish firm has been ordered by the Supreme Court to refund close to $400,000 to the state paid as judgement debt.

The Court in a unanimous decision upheld the application for a refund by former Attorney General Martin Amidu, adding that the contract was null and void because it lacked Parliamentary approval.

Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen programme on Monday, Anane-Agyei Forson said they cannot be punished for government's inefficiencies.

"They [Kufuor government] have defrauded [us] by signing a contract and refusing to perfect it in Parliament. When its good for them it could go, but when we go to court to challenge them they tell us the contract did not go to Parliament".

The Isofoton country representative wondered why the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has taken a keen interest in the case when, in fact, it was their government that caused the damage.

Anane-Agyei Forson threatened to let the cat out if the NPP and its appendages continue with the witch hunt.

"I am a strong NPP member and I contributed to Akufo-Addo's campaign team so if anything, the members should rather be supporting me" he bemoaned.
