Fabewoso: Ghana Maritime boss blows over GH₵ 66 thousand on kitchen cabinet

The woes of the Director General of the Ghana Maritime Authority, Kwame Owusu, is far from over as it has emerged that he has allegedly used over GH₵ 66 thousand for kitchen cabinet.

This was after he defended the renovation of his “colonial style” 2-bedroom Cantonments residence at the cost of GH₵1 million, despite concerns the amount was too high.

Mr Owusu has justified the expenses, saying the former wooden residence now has “four bedrooms on the main structure, a living room, a dining room, kitchen, a family room, a library and a basement.”

A memo signed by an employee of the Maritime Authority, Rhoda Atiah, revealed that GH₵ 66,835.00 was used to construct high-quality hardwood standard kitchen cabinet complete with drawers, Corian worktop and wall hanging unit including all necessary accessories.

It has also emerged on Adom FM’s anti-corruption segment, Fabewoso, that the Maritime boss also used GH₵24,650.00 to pay for 11 air conditioners for the newly renovated official residences of the Director-General.

In a rebuttal, however, Mr Owusu said he feels the upgraded residence is still relatively modest, compared to what is occupied by Director Generals of other state agencies.

  1. This semi literate smart should give us a break. Go out there and check the prices of kitchens. Or is he comparing the price with plywood kitchens? I am no DG, but my kitchen cost more than the DG’s. And I know it will last for decades. At any rate, did he put the kitchen in his own house?
