‘Agyapadie’ document is a diabolical scheme by few Kyebi individuals – Ohene Agyekum

Daniel Ohene Agyekum, a former Ambassador to the United States of America under the erstwhile John Evans Atta Mills’ government, has described the Agyapadie document as a clear manifestation of state capture of resources.

He has intimated that the document places the nation’s wealth in the hands of a select few.

Though President Nana Akufo-Addo has denied the authenticity of the document, former president John Dramani Mahama holds the view that the content in the document has been implemented.

Speaking at a press conference in Kumasi, Ohene Agyekum said the document is authentic and represents a diabolical plan by some individuals to capture the resources of Ghana.

“This document is authentic and it represents a very diabolical scheme by a small group of individuals from Kyebi. My understanding when people talk about the Akyem mafia is that it is wrong because I will argue that it is Kyebi mafia.”

Ohene Agyekum further stated that the Agyapadie document represents a dangerous precedent for Ghana’s future.

He said it is not merely an administrative guideline but a blueprint for the capture and monopolisation of Ghana’s resources by a privileged group.
