Emmanuel Nii Ashie Moore is Greater Accra Regional Chairman of the National Democratic Congress
The Greater Accra Regional Chairman of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC), Emmanuel Nii Ashie Moore, has reacted to reports of him being sued by a Singaporean businessman over an alleged $800,000 payment for failed Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG) contracts.
A statement issued by the lawyer of the NDC regional chairman, Gideon Tettey Tetteh, indicated that the claim that his client took $800,000 from the said businessman, Toh You Kang, as payment for a cable-supply contract with the Electricity Company of Ghana that never materialised, is false.
It indicated that Toh You Kang, who is currently in the custody of security authorities, rather defrauded Ashie Moore and his business partners of about $3 million.
“The suspect is alleged to have defrauded Mr Ashie Moore and his partners of $3 million. The suspect is also being investigated by the Economic Crime Office for allegedly stealing $2.8 million from Mr Ashie Moore and partners.
“A petition has been submitted to the Attorney General for the docket to be taken from the police, since it is beyond the threshold of the Police. It is an absolute falsehood that an amount of $800,000 has been paid to Mr Ashie Moore. The suspect rather swindled Mr Ashie Moore and his partners and caused damage to the businesses of Mr Ashie Moore and his partners,” parts of the statement issued on June 28, 2025, read.
Toh You Kang, who was named as the Chief Executive Officer (CEO) and Director of NSG Group, in an application filed at the High Court in Accra, accused the NDC regional chairman of taking $800,000 for a cable-supply contract with the Electricity Company of Ghana.
In the writ filed on June 27, 2025, which has been sighted by GhanaWeb, the Singaporean businessman said that he paid $800,000 to Ashie Moore between 2023 and 2024 as payment for an ECG contract Moore had apparently secured, worth millions of dollars, for the supply of electric cables.
You Kang, in his application, also accused the NDC regional chairman of human rights abuses.
He claimed that he came to Ghana at the request of Ashie Moore, only to end up being subjected to abuse, threats, and blackmail.
