Corruption Standoff Deepens
The legal storm surrounding the alleged US$2 million overpayment in the District Roads Improvement Programme (DRIP) contract has intensified.
The Attorney-General (A-G) and Minister for Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, is prepared to use the courts to enforce accountability, rejecting J.A. Plant Pool's (JAPP) 'clerical error' defence.
JAPP attributed the entire reported US$2 million excess payment to a simple clerical error in official documentation.
JAPP claimed the correct contract value was US$178,704,739, significantly higher than the figure cited in the AG's allegations.
