Former MP Moses Asaga Denies Allegations of Illicit Property Ownership in Dubai
Moses Asaga, a former Member of Parliament for Nabdam in the Upper East Region, has vehemently denied accusations of owning properties in Dubai acquired through illicit means. Apexnewsgh reports The allegations surfaced in a report by the UK-based think tank, the Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP), which implicated several former appointees of the Mahama administration, including Asaga and others. The OCCRP report, titled “How Dirty Money Finds a Home in Dubai Real Estate,” suggested that these individuals had amassed real estate in Dubai worth millions of dollars during their tenure in power. However, Asaga has dismissed the claims as a political machination, questioning the focus on his investment of $133,000. Asaga argued that his 30-year career, which includes significant roles at Ecobank, GNPC, and as a Deputy Minister of Finance and Minister for Employment, more than justifies his ability to invest in such properties. He challenged the narrative of wrongdoing by comparing property prices in Ghana, where new apartments are sold for upwards of $200,000 and luxury residences in Trassaco can fetch between $1 million and $5 million. Asaga quizzed, “Shouldn’t I be able to own such an investment? What are the prices of Trasaco properties, $1m-$3m? Who are staying there? Is it not politicians and majority NPP functionaries? Has the OCCRP gone to put a story on them? This is a political machination.” He emphasized that his investment is a legitimate fruit of his labor, earned over three decades of service in various sectors, including banking, energy, and politics. Asaga’s response has thrown the spotlight on the credibility of the OCCRP report and the motives behind the allegations.

Victor Kusi Boateng, also known as Kwabena Adu Gyamfi, seeking to reverse a High Court decision that dismissed a contempt case against Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa.

Koranteng, and comprising Justice Afia Serwah Asare-Botwe and Justice Kweku Tawiah Ackaah-Boafo, ruled that the grounds of appeal were “incompetent” and therefore struck out.
