Indexing government scandals one at a time
The Asuogyaman district assembly in the Eastern region has been hit with a massive price inflation scandal that has angered residents of the district.
Documents sighted by Starr News reveal prices of some equipment including computers recently purchased by the district Chief executive were heavily inflated.
An HP Laser Jet coloured printer which was purchased at GHC16,000 by the assembly is sold on the market for GHC1,850 with the same or similar specifications. Also, an HP desktop computer which was bought at GHC4,000 per unit goes at GHC2,500 on the IT market. The staggering price inflation runs through many of the purchases that were done by the DCE and his team.
In other development, the DCE and his coordinating director, according to documents sighted by Starr News, spent whopping amount of money on the renovation of their official residence.
