A concerned citizen, Kingsford Boakye, popularly known as Piero, on Adom FM’s morning show, Dwaso Nsem said they were appalled by the incident.

According to him, the assembly rehabilitated a 4-unit classroom block for the Presbyterian Primary School at New Nsuta at a cost of GH₵181,849.08, and constructed a 3-unit KG block and crèche at Sanso for GH₵320,392.00.

Piero added that these, as well as other inflated costs of projects have brought divisions between the MCE and some assembly members.

He went on to say that the assembly members and residents of Obuasi have vowed to ensure the MCE accounts for the money squandered.

Bonah however denied the allegations, insisting that the cost of projects have been well accounted for.

He said there was a cartel at the assembly working assiduously to ensure he is sacked because “I’m not allowing them to have their way”.

He revealed that immediately he was confirmed, a member of the cartel attempted to bribe him.

“When I refused the bribe, they vowed to make Obuasi ungovernable for me so I’m not surprised they are accusing me of squandering cash,” he opined.

As an anti-corruption crusader himself, Adansi Bonah said he was committed to President Akufo-Addo’s fight against corruption and as such, wouldn’t allow anyone to corrupt him.
