A former lawmaker from Ghana wants officials to handle corruption cases differently. Ebenezer Gilbert Nii Narh Nartey once represented Ablekuma Central for the New Patriotic Party. He spoke about allegations against party leader Bernard Antwi Boasiako on Friday. People know Boasiako as Chairman Wontumi of the Ashanti Region. Nartey thinks sending corrupt officials to prison wastes time.
Nartey believes the government should focus on getting stolen money back instead. He wants authorities to use recovered funds for public projects like hospitals. The former politician suggested building a large medical center with any returned money. He would put a sign on the building explaining where the funds came from. This approach would help communities more than putting someone behind bars.
Government investigators are looking into several charges against Wontumi. The Economic and Organised Crime Office is handling the case. They suspect him of fraud and money laundering activities. Officials also think he caused financial damage to the country. The probe connects to a larger international crime network.
