The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has taken swift action against corruption, interdicting two employees, Daniel Godsway and George Amoako, over allegations of fraud, document alteration, impersonation, and forgery of official documents.
The forged documents include the signature of the EPA’s Chief Executive Officer, Prof. Nana Ama Browne Klutse.
According to a leaked memo signed by Prof. Klutse, the actions of the two officers constitute “an egregious misrepresentation of official authority, amounting to forgery, abuse of office, and a fundamental breach of fiduciary duty.”
The memo further states that their actions may contravene the Criminal Code 1960 (Act 29) of Ghana, particularly sections relating to forgery, fraudulent misrepresentation, and the unauthorized use of official documents.
The EPA has reiterated its commitment to upholding strict protocols to protect the integrity and authenticity of its official correspondences.
In a statement, the authority warned that “any unauthorized alteration or manipulation of official documents is a serious violation of institutional policies and legal statutes, and such actions will not be tolerated under any circumstances.”
The interdiction of the two employees is a clear indication of the EPA’s zero-tolerance stance on corruption.
The agency has assured the public that it will continue to uphold the highest standards of integrity and transparency in its operations.
