We retrieved three cars from Chairman Wontumi’s home- MASLOC
The Chief Executive Officer of the Microfinance and Small Loans Centre (MASLOC), Abigail Elorm Mensah, has revealed that three government vehicles have been recovered from the residence of the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako, also known as Chairman Wontumi.
Speaking on Citi FM’s Eyewitness News on Wednesday, September 10, 2025, Ms. Mensah explained that the operation was carried out in collaboration with National Security operatives.
“I went with National Security operatives to the residence of the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the NPP, Chairman Wontumi. There were five cars in total. We managed to retrieve three, and we are still pursuing him for the remaining two. He has to pay for them,” she said.
Ms. Mensah clarified that the operation was part of an ongoing effort to recover government loans and vehicles that have been misappropriated. She emphasised that MASLOC’s procedures require individuals who default on repayment obligations or misuse government assets to either return the items or settle their outstanding debts.
“Our practice is that once we seize the cars, the agreement stipulates that you must repay whatever has accrued before the vehicles are released back to you.”
The MASLOC CEO further revealed that several cases of misused assets had been reported to the police.
“We’ve reported many of these issues to the police,” she confirmed, citing an example where a relative of former Vice President Seidu Imoro took a government vehicle without returning it.
“In one situation, a brother of former Vice President Seidu Imoro picked up a vehicle and boldly told us that since he had worked with it and now bought his own, we could come for it if we wanted. So we seized it,” Ms Mensah added.
