The Deputy Attorney General, Justice Srem-Sai, has confirmed that Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, is currently under investigation for alleged involvement in fraudulent activities and actions that have led to significant financial loss to the state.

In an X post on Wednesday, May 29, 2025, the Deputy Attorney General revealed that preliminary findings from an ongoing audit and probe into state contracts awarded over the past few years have raised serious concerns regarding the Chairman.

Justice Srem-Sai disclosed that the ongoing investigation is being handled by the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO), with asset recovery efforts already underway to secure suspected proceeds of crime.

“Suspect BERNARD ANTWI BOASIAKO, a.k.a. Chairman Wontumi, is under investigation for various criminal offences (including fraud, causing financial loss to the State, and money laundering),” he stated.

He added that the criminal investigation is running concurrently with asset recovery proceedings “to prevent further dissipation of what law enforcement agencies strongly suspect to be proceeds of crime.”

The Deputy Attorney General further revealed that a second, more complex strand of investigation is also ongoing. This second phase, he explained, is linked to a larger international organised crime network. EOCO, according to him, is collaborating with global law enforcement partners to uncover the full scope of Wontumi’s alleged involvement.

“The suspect is also under a second strand of investigation which is part of a larger international organised crime scheme. The Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) is assiduously working with our international law enforcement partners on this second strand of criminal investigations,” he noted.

Chairman Wontumi, the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has been linked to several contracts awarded to companies associated with him. According to the Deputy AG, the investigations are centred around the possible inflation of contract costs, falsification of documentation, and non-delivery of services paid for with public funds.
