OSP Chases Money Throwing NDC MP Aspirant

The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has summoned Juliana Kinang-Wassan, a defeated National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary aspirant for Ejura Sekyedumase over a suspected instance of corruption against her. Juliana, who placed fourth in the parliamentary primary after garnering 216 votes, threw money on delegates at the Ahmadiya School Park during the polls as a way of voter inducement. 

In a viral video, she was seen throwing currency notes on people in the constituency in what is considered to be a cash bribe to voters, and this caught the attention of the police, and now the OSP. The OSP stated in a letter that an inquiry into suspected corruption in relation to her actions had begun. The OSP considers you as a person necessary for investigation.

You are directed to attend the Office of the Special Prosecutor at 6 Haile Selassie Avenue, South Ridge, Accra on Thursday, May 18, 2023, at 10 am for interviewing. You may be accompanied by counsel of your choice, the letter, signed by the Special Prosecutor, Kissi Agyabeng, said. Earlier, the police said in a statement that a dedicated legal team is currently scrutinising her conduct in the video to establish whether there are elements of election-related crime to warrant Police intervention or otherwise.
