The Board Chairman of Ghana Water Company (GWC), Alexander Afenyo-Markin called on former President Jerry John Rawlings on Tuesday afternoon, to discuss matters arising out of a statement by the former President on allegations of impropriety at the company.
Accompanied by the company’s Managing Director, Clifford Braimah, Alexander Afenyo-Markin who is also the Member of Parliament for Effutu in the Central Region, informed the former President that while there was a petition before the Special Prosecutor, the tenure of the matter in question occurred in 2016 under the previous Board of the company.
Former President Rawlings said he had heard and understands where the Board Chairman was coming from and urged the company to take advantage of the opportunity of the meeting to clarify publicly, details of the said matter under investigation and mention the specific timelines to sanitize the records, pending the outcome of investigations by the Special Prosecutor.
Former President Rawlings took the opportunity to enquire about the progress of proposals for Ghana Water to provide water to parts of Togo, a discussion that has been ongoing between the two countries “for too long”.
Managing Director Clifford Braimah confirmed that a feasibility report on the arrangement had been completed and work to seek financiers for the project will commence soon.
As part of the proposal to provide water to Togo, all communities along the route within Ghana are expected to benefit from the provision of water from the utility company.
Other members of the Ghana Water delegation were Alex Bonney, a member of the Board and Peter De-Veer, Deputy Managing Director (Special Projects).
Mr Rawlings in a keynote address delivered at a conference of NDC Cadres and activists of the Revolution in Kumasi over the weekend bemoaned the fact that some NPP appointees are still in office when corrupt allegations have been leveled against them.
He mentioned the Board Chairman of the Ghana Water Company, Alexander Afenyo-Markin who was still in office at a time when serious allegations had been made against him over-inflation of contractual figures and called for his interdiction pending the outcome of thorough investigations by the relevant investigative institutions.

Sorry to NDC. All the things Mr. Rawlings said about you were not well researched. I am really surprised none of you is in jail 3- years into npp. Mr. Rawlings is just jealous he could not make much from politics as you guys must have made. But hey, the world is changing and we must change. Check boxing, music, football etc. the pioneers never made any money but now, many would rather send their talented sons to a football academy than university. The loose talk is too much. To the media, let Rawlings rest, same way Kuffour is resting
So Mr BOOM boom for nothing? Oh Rawlings stop this and save the little dignity left for you because we all know that this is exactly what you said against innocent souls and killed them for nothing made their family orphans and left them with perpetual sadness. Now I decree like the Jews said NEVER AGAIN TO NDC. NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU NDC YAAMUTU
Rawlings is quite an interesting character. He is very weak minded. A whole former president goes round taking any story someone tells him serious. He recently was accusing ofosu kwakye of buying a house, without any basis. Because he probably heard someone said it and he went about also saying same thing. I never take him and amidu serious. They say anything and later say its perception.
PAPA JJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJ the angel of the most high
It means he needs mental attention. Which means allegations against NDC is bogus. I think when the two finished smoking thier weed this one is pushed to come and tell lies.
The day those saying praise Rawlings start to say crucify him we shall see where he will run to.
When is any npp person going to meet Ken Agyapong over his numerous allegations? Or we should all take it that he is immmbecileee and that he talks like water coming out of the mouth? Nyaatwomfo)!
The hyperactive Rawlings could have called for clarification before using the SPs allegation as part of his speech in Kumasi.
a meeting of Hypocrites
Rawlings has always engaged in Pedestrian talk. He says he left government penniless. He and his wife are one of the rich people in the country
