John-Peter Amewu arrested over botched $2 million SkyTrain deal

John-Peter Amewu, the former Minister for Railways, has been arrested. He is also a former Member of Parliament for Hohoe Constituency in the Volta Region.

His arrest is linked to the failed $2 million SkyTrain project. This project aimed to create a modern urban rail system in Ghana but did not succeed.

The government had invested $2 million into this unsuccessful deal. Mr. Amewu oversaw the railway sector and is now under scrutiny.

Questions are being raised about his role in the agreement and financial commitments made. This situation raises concerns about accountability in government contracts.

National Security officials have not provided details on any charges against him. Legal proceedings may follow as investigations continue.

This case could lead to more discussions on transparency in Ghana’s infrastructure investments. Further updates will be shared as new information emerges.
