The Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) has invited the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Parliamentary aspirant for Ejura Sekyeredumase over a suspected case of corruption.
According to a letter from the office of the OSP, Juliana Kinang Wassan is one of the persons of interest for their actions during the opposition party’s presidential and parliamentary primaries on Saturday, May 13, 2023.
The PC aspirant who lost to the incumbent Member of Parliament (MP) Mr. Muhammad Bawah Braimah was seen in a viral video standing in a car showering cash on people who flung her at the Ahmadiya School Park where voting was ongoing.
There was a mad rush for the money which ranges from GH¢10 notes to GH¢100 notes.
Madam Wassan later told reporters in an interview that she realised she had the money in her car and decided to show love to her fellow NDC members by sharing the cash.
Her action is said to have caught the attention of Special Prosecutor, Mr. Kissi Agyabeng.
In a letter, the OSP said it has commenced an investigation into suspected corruption in respect of her action.
“The OSP considers you as a person necessary for investigation. You are directed to attend the Office of the Special Prosecutor at 6 Haile Selassie Avenue, South Ridge, Accra on Thursday, May 18, 2023, at 10 am for interviewing.
“You may be accompanied by counsel of your choice.”
In a related development, the Police say their legal department is studying the video to establish if there is a case for Juliana Wassan to answer.
