The former MCE, according to sources close to him, has allegedly built four (4) mansions in the Teshie-municipality in the Greater Accra region within two years of his reign.

The said mansions, according to a deep throat within the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) at Teshie are located at Malik and Tebebeano all suburbs of Accra.

The source further alleged that the former LEKMA MCE has soiled his hands with corruption describing him as an epitome of modern day ?Arabian King? who used political influence to acquire many assets.

The said mansions, according to a deep throat within the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) at Teshie are located at Malik and Tebebeano all suburbs of Accra.

?People like Daniel Amartey are part of the economic mess that has visited this country in this NDC era? the source opined.

The former LEKMA boss is among the four persons who have declared their intentions to contest the NDC Greater Accra regional chairmanship position.

They are the incumbent chairman, Joseph Kobina Ade Coker, Mainly Spain, Stephen Akwetey and the former MCE of LEKMA, Daniel Amartey Mensah.

The source believe that these issues of corruption on the part of the former MCE has the tendency of dragging him to before anti-corruption institutions in the country to explain how he acquired those assets.

Armed with pictorial evidence of alleged corrupt practices perpetuated by the aspiring NDC Greater Accra regional chairman, the source reiterated its commitment to ensure that the NDC does not elect people like Daniel Amartey to lead the party.

?We don?t need such people to lead the NDC at this critical moment of our time when the party is struggling hard to fix the ailing economy? the source stressed.

It would be recalled that the Assembly man for Nkpor Electoral area, Prince Aminu Saana held a press conference to raise issues against the NDC Greater Accra regional chairman hopeful.

He alleged among other things that ex-LEKMA MCE unilaterally paid out the assembly?s fund of Ghc40, 000.00 to a ghost company by name Africa Connections under the pretext of sending four (4) delegations to participate in the 9th Focus on Africa in the US.

But when the former LEKMA MCE was contacted via telephone, he vehemently denied all the allegations saying ?I don?t care what my detractors will say, all these things they are saying are not new to me. ?? they can say whatever they like I?m not perturbed? he boasted.

He added that he would not allow all these machinations by his detractors to push him out of the contest.

According to the embattled former MCE the contest is about ideas and not about character assassination as he claimed some people were doing.

To this end he called on delegates for the party?s upcoming regional congress to be very circumspect and vote for people who have good track record to put the NDC in the lead in 2016.
