National Security arrested John-Peter Amewu, the former Minister of Railways and former Member of Parliament for the Volta Region’s Hohoe Constituency, in relation to the $2 million SkyTrain project that failed.
Investigations into the contentious agreement, which was supposed to establish a contemporary urban rail transportation system in Ghana but never did, are still proceeding at the time of the arrest.
According to reports, the government had already spent $2 million on the initiative, which has since been declared a failure.
Due to his involvement in the arrangement and the circumstances surrounding the financial promises made under it, Mr. Amewu, who was key in supervising the nation’s railway sector, is currently under investigation.
Concerns about accountability in public infrastructure projects and government contracts are becoming more prevalent as a result of this most recent development.
Additional information regarding the charges or other legal actions that Mr. Amewu might encounter has not yet been made public by national security officials.
It is anticipated that the case would lead to more discussion about due diligence and transparency in Ghana’s infrastructure investments.
