Member of Parliament (MP) for Assin Central, Kennedy Ohene Agyapong has called for the detention of the former Second Deputy Governor of the Bank of Ghana Dr. Johnson Asiamah over what he says is stealing of state monies for personal gains.
According to Kennedy Agyapong, he cannot fathom how Dr. Asiamah could accumulate some huge amount of money to purchase a house worth about $1.5 million at Chains Homes in Airport Valley.
“Dr. Asiamah has to be arrested. He is not a businessman like us, so how much is his salary to enable him to purchase a house that is estimated to be about 1.5 million dollars. They will come after them.
"It amazes me when I hear people like Asiamah tagging NPP as corrupt government, the kind of mess the NDC created before leaving power is horrible, they don’t have the right to condemn the NPP’s good work”, Ken Agyapong slated.
Mr. Agyapong, a “faithful” member of the ruling New Patriotic Party, said if Dr. Asiamah dares to critique the NPP or respond to the allegations leveled against him, more corrupt hidden information will be dropped about him.
Recently, the former-deputy Governor of BoG, Dr. Johnson Asiamah heavily criticized the current leadership of the BoG for their modus operandi in the banking sector cleanup, the Central Bank has hit back.
Dr. Asiamah had alleged that under the erstwhile John Dramani Mahama administration, the BoG was to embark on a similar clean-up exercise which would have cost the country far less than the current exercise did.
But the Bank of Ghana rubbished the claims insisting there is no evidence or record to the effect that the Mahama-led administration intended embarking on a clean-up exercise of any sort.
In 2016, Dr. Johnson Asiamah was appointed as the Second Deputy Governor at Bank of Ghana by former President John Dramani Mahama.

Sometimes I ask myself whether this man is in his right frame of mind. This is the same man who goes about fighting journalists such Anas and Azure who are seriously exposing corruption. The same person turns around and pretend helping to fight corruption. When it is about NPP no one is wrong but when it is about his opponent then they should be arrested. He defended nyantakyi, isaac obeng and he is now defending adjei. Can anyone take him serious?
Really? What about the fraud under the PDS agreement which is still going on. Members of the Company are still collecting Ghanaians electricity money and have been given free assets worth millions. Look at the POT CALLING THE KETTLE BLACK. ***barred word*** NPP. WHICH FRAUD IS MORE ORGANISED THAN THE PDS ONE? ***barred word***
Asiamah is very dishonest academician
NDC people are an organised crime group..... They create, loot and share state resources. No-contribution no-chop party.
