I’ll make sure Asiedu Nketia goes to jail – K.T Hammond

former deputy Energy Minister who doubles as the Member of Parliament for Adansi Asokwa constituency, Kobina Tahiru Hammond said he will make sure that the General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress Asiedu Nketia goes to jail.

According to him, Asiedu Nketia is on borrowed time and should be ready to be jailed in the coming months.

His comment comes at the back of Asiedu Nketia who threatened the MP that the NDC arrest and prosecute the former deputy Energy Minister for his role in the sale of Ghana’s drill ship.

Asiedu Nketiah promised to retire K.T Hammond in the December 2016 election and cause his prosecution for his role in the sale of the ship.
According to him, K.T Hammond is hiding behind his parliamentary immunity and so his defeat will pave way for the NDC government to arrest and prosecute him.

A government white paper on a report presented by the judgment debt commission directed the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) to get Mr. Hammond to account for the difference of $900,000 which went untraced following the sale of the drill ship for $24 million to defray a $19.5 million debt owed Societe General bank.
The latter has since sued government to prevent EOCO’s investigations.

But speaking to Accra-based Starr FM, K.T Hammond said the General Secretary of the NDC is on borrowed time and will have his time in court soon.

“If I was personally in position to arrest him, I would have arrested him. We were sworn-in on the 7 and I would have put him in on the 8. He is on borrowed times, I will still arrest him.”
