Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
In a compelling account that has shaken the public, Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram Constituency Sam George has revealed the story of a woman who was fired from her position at the Axle Load Station in Accra under questionable circumstances.
Despite her outstanding performance in increasing revenue, her sacking exposes a deep-rooted web of corruption that threatens the integrity of the country’s revenue collection systems.
The woman in question had taken over as manager at the Axle Load Station after her predecessor fell ill.
She inherited a station that, under her predecessor’s management, had been posting monthly revenues of about GHS 700,000. However, upon assuming her new role in March, she immediately delivered impressive results. By the end of the month, her reported revenue surged to GHS 1.5 million, doubling the previous figures.
This upward trajectory continued in April with GHS 3 million, followed by GHS 2.1 million in May and GHS 2 million in June.
Sam George, who disclosed the story, noted that management was initially very pleased with her performance. “She was doing a fantastic job,” a source close to the situation said. “Her numbers were rising, and everyone was impressed. They were even considering issuing a commendation for her exceptional work.”
However, as is often the case when things seem too good to be true, an audit exposed a troubling discrepancy. It was found that between April and June, the woman had underreported revenue by GHS 4.3 million.
The audit’s findings triggered a response from management, which placed her under investigation. Despite the caution, her reported numbers bounced back to the GHS 3 million mark in the following months.
Sam George revealed that the audit then expanded its scope, not just to examine her tenure but also to look into the activities of her predecessor, uncovering more instances of revenue manipulation and irregularities.
The deeper the investigation went, the clearer it became that the problem at the Axle Load Station was far bigger than one woman’s performance.
It pointed to a cartel of corrupt officials who had been underreporting revenue for years, profiting from financial discrepancies at the expense of the government.
The political dimension of the scandal also became evident. Sam George highlighted that many of these corrupt officials often hide behind political victimization to secure comebacks after government changes.
“They’re very good at using politics as a shield,” George remarked. “After every election, they manage to slip back into positions of power and continue their illicit activities with even more impunity.”
