The former Deputy Minister of Information has dared Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings to proceed to court if she feels hard done by the Kufuor administration.“We are ready to meet anybody in court,” Mr. Agyekum told Joy News on Thursday, in reaction to statements by the ex-First Lady that she was considering legal action against Ex-President Kufuor for tarnishing her reputation.Nana Konadu and Messrs Emmanuel Agbodo, Thomas Benson Owusu, Kwame Peprah and Madam Sherry Aryitey, have since 2005 been shuttling between their residences and the courts to prove their innocence in an alleged financial impropriety in the sale of the Nsawam Cannery by their company, Carridem.They were charged with fraud, theft and conspiracy to defraud the state over an alleged under-valuation and cheap sale of the state property to Carridem.Ex-President Kufuor on the eve of exiting office as President of the Republic of Ghana caused the discontinuation of the case.Even though no official reasons were given then, Mr. Agyekum said it was in the interest of national reconciliation.He dismissed claims by the ex-First Lady that the case lacked merit and was just perpetrated to satisfy a political thirst for vengeance.According to him, the case was pursued on account of a damning audit report which revealed gross financial impropriety in the sale of the state property.He said the constant reference to the ex-President, J.A. Kufuor in relation to the case must cease, since it was the Attorney General who initiated and handled the court proceedings.The Attorney General is the Chief legal advisor of the state. He took the case to court and subsequently withdrew it, Mr Agyakum explained.
