Two accounts officers of the Ahafo-Ano South District Assembly in the Ashanti Region are helping the police in their investigations into their alleged involvement in the transfer of GH¢133,000 from the assembly’s account into another account.The suspects, who are on bail pending investigations, are Felix Fordjour and Basoa Kodua.
The amount was said to be the assembly’s share of the District Assemblies Common Fund (DACF) for the third quarter of 2015.
The deal was uncovered after the assembly’s accounts had been audited by its auditors and the Bureau of National Investigations (BNI).
Forged signatures
According to the Mankranso District Police Commander, Deputy Superintendent of Police, Mr John Adusei, the suspects were believed to have forged the signatures of the District Finance Officer and the Co-ordinating Director before transferring the money from the assembly’s account.
Mr Adusei said preliminary investigations had revealed that other accomplices of the suspects cashed the money shortly after it had been deposited in a different account.
The District Chief Executive (DCE) for Ahafo Ano South, Mr Gabriel Barimah, declined to comment on the matter when he was contacted.
