    Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor: A Stand for Accountability in Government


    Majority Chief Whip, Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor

    Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor, the Majority Chief Whip and Member of Parliament for South Dayi, has recently shed light on the challenges faced while holding the government accountable. During the Akufo-Addo administration, he revealed that government officials frequently pressured him to withdraw his legal actions regarding significant procurement processes.

    Legal Action Against Agenda 111 Hospital Project

    Dafeamekpor cited a particular incident where he faced significant pressure after he initiated legal proceedings challenging the procurement process for the Agenda 111 hospital project. This project aimed to expand healthcare infrastructure across Ghana and was expected to be under the watchful eye of the World Bank.

    Concerns Over Procurement Irregularities

    In an interview on Starr FM, Dafeamekpor expressed his concerns over what he deemed irregularities in awarding a design contract to renowned architect David Adjaye for $600,000. He highlighted that, although the ministry had contracted Adjaye for design work, contractors had already been procured to begin construction on the new hospitals.

    The Legal Challenge

    His commitment to transparency led him to file a lawsuit aimed at scrutinizing the procurement process. Dafeamekpor noted that his early legal action prompted a response from the World Bank, leading them to review the matter closely, ultimately advising that no further action could proceed until his concerns were addressed.

    Weighing Legal Victory Against Community Impact

    Despite having strong legal grounds and the potential for success, Dafeamekpor made the difficult decision not to pursue the case to its full extent. He worried that continuous litigation might halt vital healthcare projects benefiting his constituents and several districts in the Volta Region.

    A Moral Dilemma Amidst a Pandemic

    Reflecting on his choices, Dafeamekpor acknowledged that the situation presented a moral dilemma, particularly during the COVID-19 crisis. He did not want to appear as an obstructionist, jeopardizing the rapid rollout of essential healthcare infrastructure during a time of national need.

    Conclusion: Prioritizing Community over Individual Ambitions

    Dafeamekpor’s experience serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by public officials in balancing accountability and community needs. While engaging in legal battles for transparency is crucial, his story also underscores the importance of considering the broader implications of such actions on local communities. His commitment to prioritizing the welfare of his constituents exemplifies the difficult choices leaders must often make.

    During Pres. Akufo-Addo’s administration, I was called several times by government to back down because I was holding them accountable… – Rockson-Nelson Dafeamekpor (South Dayi MP) #GHOneNews #EIBNetwork #GHOneTV #NewsAlert @starr1035fm #StarrFM
