The Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) has taken disciplinary action against two officers, Daniel Godsway and George Amoako, following accusations of fraud, impersonation, document falsification, and forgery.

An internal investigation uncovered that the officers had allegedly altered official documents and forged the signature of the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Prof. Nana Ama Browne Klutse.

In a memo signed by Prof. Klutse, the act was strongly condemned as a serious abuse of authority, a violation of fiduciary duty, and an outright case of forgery.

The memo also highlighted that their actions could potentially breach provisions of Ghana’s Criminal Code 1960 (Act 29), particularly regarding fraudulent misrepresentation, forgery, and unauthorised use of official records.

Consequently, the officers have been interdicted while a full investigation is conducted.

The EPA has reaffirmed its dedication to upholding transparency and protecting the integrity of its official documents. It further warned that any tampering with official records is a grave offense that will not be tolerated under any circumstances.
