The group in the statement described Mr. Ameyaw’s leadership as corrupt, accusing the NLA boss of fraud.
The CVM alleged that Mr. Ameyaw, David Lamptey (AG Director, legal of NLA) and Merlin Gaming Ghana Limited have conspired to defraud the nation of GHC15,000,000.00 as settlement for a legal claim by the Merlin Gaming Limited.
Following these and other strong allegations against the NLA boss, the CVM appealed to stakeholders in the statement last week, to probe the GHC15, 000,000 Mr. Ameyaw ‘illegally’ used.
The group has since petitioned the President and all concerned parties to speed up the necessary action against the Mr. Kofi Osei-Ameyaw.
