Victor Kusi-Boateng, a member of the National Cathedral Board of Trustees faces a three-year prison term if found guilty of possessing multiple identities.

This comes after a sustained crusade by Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa on underhand dealings in the construction of the project.

That expose has lately focused on the revered man of God and his multiple identities which bears his other name, Kwabena Adu Gyamfi.

A person who bears multiple identities is liable for prosecution

Speaking exclusively to YEN.com.gh on the back of this, a private legal practitioner said as per the laws of the land, a person who deliberately uses different names with different birthdates on different documents is liable for prosecution.

Lawyer Francis K. Ohene of Eshun, Anderson Yebuah, Obeng & Co. also quoted Section 41 (E) Act 750 of the National Identity Register Act 2008 to buttress his argument.

“Where a person deliberately uses different names with a different date of birth, on different documents and uses all those identities simultaneously for different transactions, the question to be answered includes; what is the intention of the declarant, why does he have a different date of birth with a different name on one document and on another document, a different date of birth with a different name, all referable to the same person.”

Lawyer Ohene outlines possible punishment for Rev. Kusi-Boateng

Lawyer Ohene also outlined the possible punishment to be meted out to the man of God saying he is liable on summary conviction to a fine of not more than four hundred and fifty penalty units or a term of imprisonment of not more than three years or both.

“Why has he not deposed to a statutory declaration to correct the inconsistencies? If it can be established that these declarations culminating in the inconsistent names were made under oath, then he has committed a criminal offence of Perjury and has exposed himself to prosecution. When he is found guilty after the prosecution, he may be sentenced to a fine or Prison or both depending on the gravity of the deceit.”
