Conflict of interest? NLA boss takes $60K personal loan from service provider

NLA boss, Mr. Kofi Osei-Ameyaw took a $60K personal loan from service provider barely one month after he was appointed Director-General of the National Lottery Authority in March 2017.

When Kofi Osei-Ameyaw was appointed Director-General in March 2017 to bring leadership to the National Lottery Authority (NLA), he also brought a need for a personal loan. Under pressure to cough up $60,000 to pay off a loan to 'a certain lady', the new D-G settled on a man providing a service to the NLA to also provide a personal debt-servicing to the cash-strapped boss.

"I didn't really know him but of course the desire to work with him and build a relationship was there," Kojo Graham recalled the moment he was approached by the new boss for new help.
