The Agyapadie document, according to Daniel Ohene Agyekum, a former ambassador to the United States of America under the administration of the former John Evans Atta Mills, is an obvious example of state capture of resources.
He has hinted that the document concentrates wealth in the hands of a tiny number of people.
Former President John Dramani Mahama believes that the document’s recommendations have been put into practice, despite President Nana Akufo-Addo’s denials that it is legitimate.
Ohene Agyekum stated during a news conference in Kumasi that the paper is real and shows a cunning scheme by some people to seize Ghana’s wealth.
“This document is authentic and it represents a very diabolical scheme by a small group of individuals from Kyebi. My understanding when people talk about the Akyem mafia is that it is wrong because I will argue that it is Kyebi mafia.”
Ohene Agyekum went on to say that the Agyapadie document sets a risky precedent for the future of Ghana.
He claimed it is a blueprint for the appropriation and monopolization of Ghana’s wealth by a privileged few rather than just an administrative directive.
