National Security retrieves PVC pipes from Amanfrom

There were, however, no documents indicating the pipes belonged to Mr Addo.

A member of staff of the GWCL, who claimed to know more about the alleged theft and spoke to Joy News’ Beatrice Adu on condition of anonymity, said in order to cover-up their nefarious dealings, the corrupt officials claimed the pipes were to be laid underground but they somehow selected areas that had regular water supply, as opposed to places such as Chorkor where the underground pipes were choked and needed to be changed.

“Later, they will say they have laid and covered these pipes, and because they are underground, you can’t identify whether it is true that they have been laid or not," he said.

He called on the government to investigate "thoroughly" the activities of the GWCL and claimed that similar illegal activities were going on in the Western and Central regions.

The Director of Operations and Human Welfare Manager at the National Security, Major Ignatius Awuni, told Joy News that his outfit had a tip-off that 750 PVC pipes of six and four inches had been dumped in a building at Amanfrom.

“Ghana Water Company is also telling us that it doesn’t know who ordered for the materials to be sent to that place, implying that it too doesn’t know how the materials got there,” he said.

He said in the course of investigations, a worker at the GWCL, named only as David, admitted that the house belonged to his father, Mr Addo.

Major Awuni said David was currently in the custody of the BNI to assist with investigations.

He said permission had been sought from the company to remove the materials and keep them in the custody of the BNI.
