Former Ambassador to the United States under President John Evans Atta Mills, Daniel Ohene Agyekum, has strongly criticized the controversial Agyapadie document, calling it a clear example of state capture.
According to Agyekum, the document represents a troubling shift where the country’s wealth is concentrated in the hands of a few, undermining democratic governance and fair resource distribution.
The Agyapadie document has generated significant debate, with President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo dismissing it as fraudulent.
Despite this, former President John Dramani Mahama has claimed that the document’s contents have been put into action.
At a press conference in Kumasi, Agyekum expressed serious concerns about the document, describing it as a sinister scheme created by a few individuals from Kyebi.
“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.”
Agyekum’s comments suggest that he views the Agyapadie document not just as administrative guidelines but as a strategic plan aimed at monopolizing Ghana’s resources.
He warned that this could create a dangerous precedent for the country’s future.
