McDan’s CONFESSIONS THREATENS US ARMY CONTRACT ..May result in Pentagon Probe …..Expose him as a PEP

Dan McKorley “McDan” may have unwittingly nailed his multi-million dollar US Army contract in the Coffin with his triple confessions during a carefully choreographed public relations interview gone horribly wrong on Metro TV.

McDAN Board Chairman of the Ghana Trade Fair Company (GTFC) who was caught off guard during Paul Adom Otchere’s Good Evening Ghana admitted that whilst in opposition, the businessman used his Security company, AFWEST to import South African mercenaries to train political militias for the New Patriotic Party.

The Militias have now become a destabilizing force in the usually pristine political atmosphere in Ghana.  

The Second is the confession that as a political donor to Nana Akuffo Addo’s 2016 campaign, he is now a big time member of the ruling New Patriotic Party.

The third is the even more shocking admission that he got his first business with government after the current government took over power. “I got my first government contract under Akuffo Addo”, adding that until the NPP came to power “I didn’t run after government business,”

Business risk and Security Analyst familiar with the ethics and rules governing Politically Exposed Persons (PEPs) say that the cumulative effect of the three answers qualifies McDAN as a politically exposed person.

The Financial Action Task Force on Money Laundering (FATF) defines “PEPs as individuals who are or have been entrusted with prominent public functions by a foreign country, for example Heads of state or Heads of government, senior politicians, senior government, judicial or military officials, senior executives of state-owned corporations, important political party officials”

McDAM by virtue of his appointment by the President of the Republic of Ghana as Board Chairman of Ghana Trade Fair Company and also as a financier of the NPP falls squarely into the definition of PEP’s .

Other observers are going as far as pointing to the fact the answers given to the three questions is evidence of “QUID PRO QUO hiding in plain sight” between McDAN, the NPP Government and or the President of Ghana.

According to the experts, if the Pentagon becomes aware of this information, it may trigger an investigation into how McDAN managed to obtain his 15 years lease of Terminal 1 and whether a relationship with the US military could be further exploited by him for his political party considering his previous activities of providing militia training for the ruling party.

 “As a US Army Contractor, there is a real possibility that the relationship could be exploited as a cover for the politician cum businessman to provide security and other services to his political party, especially in a year of elections” an expert added.

 According to an expert “They may also look into things like could certain things be done and or imported into the country to help one side of the political divide and disguised as US Military items or services?”

Already, Whatsup News intercepted a Parliamentary Order Paper which suggests that the Akufo Addo administration has virtually handed over the entire Terminal 1 to McDan to use as a “Logistics operations centre” for 15 years.

The Order Paper for February 19, 2020, reads: “The GACL (Ghana Airport Company Limited) has rented out the ground floor of Terminal 1 to McDan Aviation for use as a Logistics Operations Centre for a period of fifteen years from January 2019.”

The facility will allow McDan Aviation to provide “logistics and handling services to the US Military through Terminal 1”. Whatsup News has gathered from reliable sources that the government is not aware of the full details of this agreement with the Americans.

Those in favour of a Quid Pro Quo argument say that McDan is reportedly enjoying this free rein purportedly because of the hatchet jobs he did for the NPP run-up to the 2016 elections where he reportedly brought “mercenaries” into Ghana from South Africa to specifically trained vigilantes and militias of the ruling NPP.

McDan was also reportedly given a facility of GHC 10 million from the State-owned ADB bank without a conclusive approval of the bank’s board, as there was a boardroom wrangling at the time when  Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta allegedly exerted his influence for the facility to be granted him.
