CHRAJ Clears Rev. Kusi Boateng Of Dual Identity And Financial Misconduct Allegations

The Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) has cleared Reverend Victor Kusi Boateng of allegations regarding the possession of dual passports under different names.

In January 2023, North Tongu MP Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa petitioned CHRAJ to investigate Rev. Kusi Boateng, Secretary to the National Cathedral Board of Trustees, over claims of conflict of interest, alleged possession of multiple identities, and other alleged improprieties.

The CHRAJ report, however, found that Rev. Kusi Boateng, also known as Kwabena Adu Gyamfi, holds a single passport in the latter name.

The Commission stated that there was no evidence of a second passport issued under the name Kusi Boateng, contrary to Ablakwa’s claims.

The petition also raised concerns about the transfer of GH¢2.6 million from the National Cathedral Secretariat to JNS Talent Centre Limited, a company associated with Rev. Kusi Boateng under his alternative identity.

CHRAJ’s investigation revealed that no services were rendered by JNS Talent Centre for this payment. Instead, it determined that the funds were a reimbursement to Rev. Kusi Boateng, who had advanced payments to contractors working on the National Cathedral project when the Secretariat faced financial challenges.

The Commission concluded there was no basis for allegations of wrongdoing in the transactions.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Background

Mr Okudzeto Ablakwa in January 2023 petitioned the Commission on Human Rights and Administrative Justice (CHRAJ) to investigate the Secretary of the National Cathedral Board of Trustees, Reverend Victor Kusi-Boateng, over conflict of interest, including possession of multiple identities and other alleged criminal dealings.

The petition, which was received by the two Deputy Commissioners of CHRAJ also alleged that there was a transfer of GH¢2.6million cash from the National Cathedral Secretariat to JNS Talent Centre Limited owned by Rev. Kusi-Boateng under his secondary identity, Kwabena Adu Gyamfi.

Petition

Mr Ablakwa said the petition sought to invoke the mandate of CHRAJ under Article 218 of the 1992 Constitution to investigate the “odious conflict of interest” in regard to Rev.Victor Kusi-Boateng’s position on the national cathedral board as he “literally paid his own company a staggering GH¢2.6million for no work done”.

Rev. Kusi-Boateng, who is also the founder of Power Chapel Worldwide, according to Mr Ablakwa, was the same person as Kwabena Adu Gyamfi, who received the GH¢2.6 million from the national cathedral board.

“For the avoidance of doubt, there is no distinct Kwabena Adu Gyamfi. Kwabena Adu Gyamfi is a criminal creation of Rev. Victor Kusi-Boateng. The two are, therefore, the same,” Mr Ablakwa alleged in a statement on his Facebook wall that preceded the petition.

Mr Ablakwa said documents revealed that two other persons, Sheila Eshun and Kwabena Adu Gyamfi were also directors of JNS Talent Centre Limited.

“From unassailable and irreproachable documents in my possession, Rev. Victor Kusi-Boateng, aka Kwabena Adu Gyamfi, uses multiple passports and multiple identification cards with different names and different dates of birth as his special modus operandi.
