Ex-Ministers Foreign Bank Account

Many Ghanaians in the U.S.A and other Western Countries are determined that the monies stolen and hidden in foreign accounts that are helping to fuel the economies of their host countries should be fast tracked home, reports the Ghanaian Voice.

According to news just filtered in from the U.S, Ghanaians there have set up a permanent website on the internet to collate details of those accounts which they will furnish to the Kufuor government.

"So far the response has been fantastic and soon the President will have details of the off-shore accounts sometimes running into tens of millions of dollars, Swiss Francs, Guilders and Deutsche marks. Things will be made hot for them" said a Ghanaian who is staying in Cranston Rhude Island and involved in the enterprise of the setting up of the website.

Back home in Ghana, some editors of the private media who stumbled upon the private accounts of some Ministers, top party men, bootlickers and friends of the last regime are preparing to hand them over to the new administration.
