The Chief Executive Officer of the Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC), Abigail Elorm Mensah, has confirmed that three government vehicles have been retrieved from the residence of the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi.
According to her, the recovery exercise, which was carried out with the support of National Security operatives, is part of a broader initiative to reclaim government assets from defaulters.
“I have gone with National Security operatives to the house of the Chairman of the NPP in Ashanti Region, Chairman Wontumi. Three cars. In fact, the cars were five. We’ve retrieved three. I have collected all from his house. We are still chasing him for the two. He has to pay for them,” she said.
Mrs. Mensah explained that MASLOC’s operational guidelines require beneficiaries who default on loan repayment or misuse government vehicles to either return the assets or settle their outstanding obligations.
She further disclosed that several cases of asset misappropriation have already been reported to the police, stressing the Centre’s commitment to safeguarding state property.
