A group called the Jesuits of Gadaŋme Diaspora has raised concerns. They claim there is a coordinated harassment campaign against the McDan Group of Companies.
In their statement, they accused several state agencies of unfairly targeting McDan. These include the Office of the Special Prosecutor (OSP) and the Financial Intelligence Centre (FIC). The group believes these actions are politically motivated to damage McDan's reputation.
They specifically pointed out journalist Raymond Archer. He is a long-time critic of McDan and has made public threats against the company. The group claims his actions are driven by personal vendetta and that state institutions may be working with him.
One major concern is the alleged leaking of confidential correspondence meant for McDan. The group says this information reached the public before McDan could see it. They believe this indicates a deliberate attempt to harm the company's image.
The Jesuits also criticized the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA). They described its demands for McDan’s annual tax records as suspiciously timed. The group argues this is part of an effort to intimidate and disrupt McDan's operations.
They called for fairness and urged the government to recognize McDan's contributions to Ghana’s economy. Additionally, they requested an investigation into Raymond Archer’s influence and his possible collaboration with state agencies.
As these serious allegations unfold, observers are waiting for the government's response. This situation could lead to a significant standoff involving one of Ghana’s prominent businesses.
