Among other things, ASEPA is asking CHRAJ to investigate the circumstances leading to the bribery of the President at his private residence in Accra.

ASEPA also wants CHRAJ to carry a forensic audit on President Akufo-Addo’s personal bank accounts to ascertain the flow of funds into his personal accounts.

The Alliance wants the Commission to find out the sources of the funds to establish whether there is link between the funds and the award of any government contract or the appointment of any public official.
