Indexing government scandals one at a time
The CEO of the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) and the head of Legal Affairs are being investigated for allegedly taking bribe from the manufacturer of COA FS.
Professor Samuel Ato Duncan told investigative journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni that the head of Legal Affairs, Cynthia Dapaah Ntow, demanded that he pays $100,000 so he will be given the green light to continue selling his product. In a telephone conversation, Mrs Dapaah Ntow said she was taking the money on behalf of the Authority’s CEO, Delese Mimi Darko.
According to an investigative piece by Freelance journalist Manasseh Azure Awuni, bribes were demanded of the management of the company known for the production of the rather popular COA FS drug. Though some payments were initially advanced in order to get the FDA off the company’s back, the bribe was returned for the reason that it was not enough.
