Man at the centre of $40,000 bribery scandal to take legal action against NDC, other accusers – Kweku Baako

Alhaji Abass Awolu, the man at the centre of the $40,000 bribery scandal has instructed his lawyers to take legal action against anyone or group that has accused him of paying bribes to Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, veteran journalist Kweku Baako has disclosed.

Speaking on Peace FM’s Krokokoo’s program, Kweku Baako urged him to go to court and clear his name.

Baako has described the allegations as desperate attempts by the NDC to woo voters with just a few days left for the elections.

“It is only political desperados will do this at the eleventh hour, but unfortunately for them, they fire blank bullets that would have no effects,” Baako said.

Baako said the NDC and peddlers of the story are not being fair to Alhaji Abass Awolu.

“The sad part is that a fine public servant like Alhaji Abass has been brought to the front burner relative to propaganda of nuisance value. It’s unfair to him and I hope that what I’m hearing is true. I understand he has told his lawyers to take steps to deal with this issue. If he doesn’t do it, I will go and look for him and get him to do it.”
