The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC), Abigail Elorm Mensah, has revealed that the Centre, with assistance from National Security operatives, has recovered three government vehicles from the residence of the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, commonly referred to as Chairman Wontumi.
In an interview on Citi FM’s Eyewitness News on September 10, Mensah explained that this measure forms part of a broader initiative to recover government loans and vehicles from defaulters.
“I have gone with National Security operatives to the residence of the NPP Chairman in the Ashanti Region, Chairman Wontumi. We retrieved three cars. In fact, there were five cars in total. We have taken three. I have collected all from his residence. We are still pursuing him for the remaining two. He is obligated to pay for them,” she disclosed.
The MASLOC CEO stated that, in accordance with the Centre’s operational guidelines, individuals who fail to meet repayment obligations or misuse government vehicles are required to return the assets or settle any outstanding debts.
“Our procedure is that once I seize the vehicles, the agreement we have with you stipulates that you must repay any accrued amounts before we can release the vehicles back to you,” she stated.
Mensah further mentioned that numerous instances of asset misappropriation have already been reported to the police as part of the efforts to protect public property.
