Ramsar Site Manager Denies Bribery Amidst Development Controversy

Sakumo Ramsar Site Manager Denies Bribery Allegations The Sakumo Ramsar Site in Ghana is at the center of a controversy involving allegations of bribery against its manager, Thomas Aquah. Aquah has strongly denied these claims, stating in an interview with Channel One News, “They should bring proof—if I took any money, I’m ready!” The allegations suggest that Aquah accepted bribes to permit development on the protected land, a serious violation of environmental regulations. Aquah’s response was defiant. He stated, “As for the accusations, I don’t know what they are talking about. They are talking out of anger.” His denial underscores the need for a thorough investigation into the matter. The video footage shows Aquah visibly agitated, highlighting the emotional weight of the accusations. The incident raises concerns about the protection of environmentally sensitive areas in Ghana and the potential consequences of corruption. A full investigation is required to determine the truth and ensure the integrity of the Ramsar site’s conservation efforts. The outcome of this investigation will have implications for both environmental protection and anti-corruption initiatives in the country.
