A senior government source has disclosed to citifmonline.com that the former Director-General of GBC Mr William Ampem Darko will be in the dock in the coming weeks to face criminal charges. The charges, the source said, will centre around possible financial loss to the state and alleged misapplication of public funds allocated to the state broadcaster during Ampem Darko’s tenure. The source will not give details but said “the security agencies will soon arrest the former GBC boss and process him for court”. The source will not confirm or deny the existence of a damaging Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) report on GBC with which the state intends to prosecute the dismissed GBC boss, but said “everything will be done in line with our laws”. In another development, Mr Ampem Darko is accusing the National Media Commission (NMC) of unfair treatment after the Commission terminated his appointment Tuesday. He has vowed to clear his name in the court of law. The NMC relieved Mr. Ampem Darko of his post after studying the outcome of investigations into allegations of financial malfeasance against him. Speaking to Citi News, Mr Ampem Darko expressed surprise at his dismissal, especially since he had not seen a copy of the report used as the basis to terminate his appointment. “From the contents of the termination letter, I’m really surprised, because a committee was set up to investigate the allegations [GBC Board Chairman Prof] Aheto had made against Ampem Darko. He made two sets of allegations, and after they’ve done their investigations they haven’t told me anything, the findings have not been made public, I don’t know the findings, and they’ve thrown to me a termination of appointment.” “I don’t think I’ve been treated fairly. At least I should see a copy of the report, they tell me areas where I went wrong and for that reason they are terminating my appointment,” he added. Mr. Ampem Darko told Citi News he has done nothing wrong to deserve his sacking, and has vowed to fight to clear his name of the financial malfeasance charges, “but not necessarily to return to Ghana Broadcasting Corporation”.
