OSP documents show Bawumia’s office stole 10,000 bags of rice for Ramadan donations

Mr James Keck Osei who works at the Office of the Vice President as Director of Administration, is being investigated by the Special Prosecutor for addressing an unauthorised letter to the Commissioner-General of the GRA on April 27, 2022, seeking assistance to clear 15 containers of rice.

The letter, among other things conveyed information that the Office of the Vice President needed the containers of rice for the Ramadan festivities. The GRA did not comply with the said letter but rather informed him that there was another claimant to the rice.
