Emmanuel Nii Ashie Moore, the Greater Accra Regional Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has spoken out about his dissatisfaction with the John Dramani Mahama-led government, despite his financial contributions and investments towards the party’s electoral success.
According to Emmanuel Nii Ashie Moore, he has been neglected by the John Dramani Mahama-led government.
He revealed that none of his companies had been awarded a government contract since the NDC assumed office, highlighting that he had also not received any appointment in the Mahama administration.
Ashie Moore also spoke about his sacrifices for the NDC in a viral video clip from a recent NDC event.
According to Ashie Moore, no regional chairman in the history of the NDC had made the level of financial investment he had committed to the party in the Greater Accra Region.
He claimed, “The investment that I did for this party. Look at the money that I sank into this party in this region. No past or present regional chairman has made that investment before in the history of the NDC”.
“None of my companies has been given a government contract. I have loved the party. I have nowhere to go. I have exposed myself,” he stated.
He further disclosed that his political involvement has also affected his ability to access financial support from banks.
“When you go to the bank to take a loan, they will tell you that you are politically exposed. So, where do I get a loan?” he questioned.
“I don’t have any appointment in this government. I am not a presidential staffer. I have to go and work,” he said.
Ashie Moore expressed sadness over his situation, indicating that the lack of recognition for his contributions had left him frustrated.
In other news, Ghana is facing a possible default judgment at the ECOWAS Court of Justice over a US$50 million human rights lawsuit filed by Singaporean businessman and investor Toh You Kang.
The US$50 million default judgment follows Mr You Kang, through his lawyer, Cephas Boyuo, seeking compensation for alleged violations of his fundamental human rights, which he alleged included unlawful arrest and detention, denial of a fair hearing, restrictions on his freedom of movement and failure by state institutions to protect him.
According to court documents, the case stems from a business dispute involving Emmanuel Nii Ashie Moore, the Greater Accra Regional Chairman of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), and officers of the Ghana Police Service.
The application filed before the ECOWAS court detailed that Mr You Kang reportedly travelled to Ghana in May 2025 to resolve outstanding financial and business matters connected to transactions involving Emmanuel Nii Ashie Moore.
The investor, a shareholder in Ghanaian-registered NSG Innovation Limited, alleges that Mr Moore presented himself as a politically connected businessman capable of facilitating government-related contracts.
Relying on these representations, he claims to have transferred US$100,000 and subsequently provided another US$700,000 in connection with purported contracts to supply electrical cables to the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG).
He also claims to have supplied approximately US$1.5 million worth of campaign materials for the 2024 general elections.
The application further alleged that the dispute escalated when You Kang was taken to a private residence, where armed men allegedly demanded US$3 million from him, claiming that he was assaulted after refusing to pay before being handed over to the police.
He was subsequently arrested and prosecuted on a charge of defrauding by false pretences.
Mr You Kang challenged the criminal proceedings, arguing that the transactions underlying the charges occurred outside Ghana and that the Dansoman Circuit Court lacked jurisdiction.
Meanwhile, reports suggest the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) has finally forwarded the case docket of Emmanuel Nii Ashie-Moore to the Attorney-General’s office for prosecution.
