Kwasi Ameyaw Cheremeh disclosed this on Sunyani-based Nimdee FM.

“People are asking questions . . . Is it true or otherwise that the Bono Regional Minister took four hundred thousand cedis from a contractor in charge of Secondary school project in the Sunyani municipality? Is it true or otherwise that the Bono Regional Minister levied all the Assemblies, DCEs of the Region to the tune of ten thousand (Ghc 10,000) each ahead of the President’s visit and yet everywhere the President went the Assemblies still footed the bill? Is it true or otherwise that the Minister levied all the Assemblies twelve thousand Ghana Cedi (12,000) to procure motor bicycles? Where are the bicycles?”

“The activities of the Minister is causing us the 2020 election because she is grabbing all the government juicy contracts to herself and family members and it is wrong . . . I will not look on for this to happen,” he stressed.
