A New Patriotic Party member of parliament for Abetifi, Bryan Acheampong, has denied ever running a civil servants payroll software, which he used in stealing money from the state as alleged by musician Kwame A-Plus.
A Plus in a Facebook post Wednesday, alleged that a civil servants payroll software run by Mr Acheampong is using “ghost names” to rob the state of millions of taxpayers’ money monthly, adding some New Patriotic Party members who are aware are covering up the matter.
But a letter from the MP’s lawyers, Sory @ Law, to the musician dated February 2, 2017 said there is no iota of truth in the said social media publication which linked the MP to the said payroll software fraud. The lawyers said the publication by A-Plus who has warned to be critical of the Nana Akufo-Addo government, was deliberately calculated at exciting and or causing public disaffection for the MP “who by dint of hard work has earned the confidence of his people”. “…Your publication without doubt, casts a slur on our clients reputation,” the lawyers said, adding “your publication was definitely made with malicious intent”. The MP is consequently demanding a retraction of the said publication by A-Plus as well as an unqualified apology to him for what his lawyers termed as “false insinuations” in the social media publication. He threatened to take the necessary action against the musician should he fail to retract and apologise for the said publication within 24 hours.
Dear Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo,
my president, my personal person. You know I love you. You know I won’t do anything to hurt you. You know all of want is for your government to succeed… please there is something I want you to do for me and Ghana. Please investigate the civil servants payroll software. I hear it is run by Byran Achampong, NPP MP for Abetifi. I hear it’s full of ghost names and robbing the state of millions of taxpayers money monthly. We campaigned against the NDC for being corrupt. We voted for you because we believe you’ll check these things and “protect the public purse.” It’s an open secret, most NPP people knows about this but are covering up because it is owned and operated by an NPP person. I’m not accusing anyone of anything. I’m only calling for an investigation into this issue to boost confidence in our dear party. He said he’ll finish me but I don’t care. I will live and die for GHANA!!!
Waiting to hear from you on this issue my dear president. God bless you.
Your “Brick,”
Kwame A Plus 👊 👊 👊 👊 👊
