Inusah Fuseini, the former Member of Parliament for Tamale Central, has refuted claims of owning properties in Dubai.
A UK-based think tank, Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP), in a report titled “How Dirty Money Finds a Home in Dubai Real Estate,” published on May 14, 2024, disclosed that Inusah Fuseini, Moses Asaga, and other individuals had amassed real estate in Dubai worth millions of dollars during their tenure in power.
The report also noted that Dubai in the United Arab Emirates has a reputation for financial secrecy, suggesting it has become a sanctuary for funds from questionable sources.
However, Inusah Fuseini, in a recent interview with Accra-based Okay FM, refuted the claims, labelling the story as inaccurate and premature.
He also added that this is an attempt to reroute attention from the government.
“First of all, the story is inaccurate because I was a minister from 2014 to January 2017. The second thing is that he, himself (the Daily Dispatch journalist), said it was alleged, and so because of that when I saw the story, I referred it to my lawyers.
“They told me not to pass any comment on it. But they said details are still emerging, so we are waiting for the details. But this could be one of the attempts to deflate the attention that is being drawn by the government to former ministers,” he stated.
