Dr Stephen Opuni, Former CEO of Ghana Cocoa Board

Opuni will be vindicated – Sam George
Former Chief Executive Officer of Ghana Cocoa
Board, Dr Stephen Opuni, will be exonerated in a
case of financial malfeasance for which he is
being investigated by the Economic and Organised
Crimes Office which has led to his assets being
frozen, Sam George Nartey, Member of Parliament
for Ningo-Prampram, has said.

The former Cocobod boss is being investigated in
connection with some financial irregularities
uncovered by the new government.

President Nana Akufo-Addo last January fired Dr
Opuni. Officialdom met him on several occasions
over investigations into his tenure of office.

A letter signed by the president's Executive
Secretary gave Dr Opuni up to the end of Friday,
13 January, to leave office.

According to the letter dated Thursday, January
12, Dr Opuni “ceases to hold office as CEO of
Cocobod upon assumption of office of President
Nana Akufo-Addo”.

Mr Nartey, commenting on the matter on his Twitter
account, said: “Dr Opuni will be vindicated.
This mercenary governance style MUST stop!”
