The Deputy Director of Operations at the Presidency, Mustapha Gbande, has announced that state investigative agencies are gearing up to probe Maxwell Kofi Jumah, the former Chief Executive Officer of the Ghana Industrial Holding Company (GIHOC). Gbande, known for his forthrightness, asserts that Kofi Jumah is entangled in a web of allegations that demand thorough scrutiny.
During an interview with Onua TV’s Captain Smart, Gbande did not mince words about Kofi Jumah’s alleged misconduct. He suggested that Jumah leveraged his familial ties to President Akufo-Addo, boasting immunity from legal consequences. Gbande’s claims point to acts of corruption that he insists must be addressed, declaring Jumah’s assertions of being untouchable as both audacious and unfounded.
Highlighting specific allegations, Gbande accused Jumah of engaging in dubious auctions, such as acquiring a $90,000 vehicle for just GH₵40,000 as he exited office. The Deputy Director recounted how Jumah managed to evade arrest when police forces attempted to apprehend him last week, alleging that authorities reclaimed a vehicle from his possession during this operation. Gbande claims these acts reflect a broader pattern of misuse of power and resources under Jumah’s leadership.
Further exacerbating concerns, Gbande accused Jumah of causing significant damage to GIHOC’s Kumasi facility. The former CEO allegedly threatened employees, warning them against participating in demonstrations with the risk of dismissal. These actions, Gbande argues, have left an indelible negative impact on the institution, underlining the necessity for a comprehensive investigation.
With public interest mounting and over a hundred comments pouring in on the narrative, the upcoming investigation is highly anticipated. As citizens await further developments, the demand for accountability continues to escalate, underscoring a broader commitment to transparency and justice within Ghana’s governance structures.
