Asante Kwaku Berko, former Tema Oil Refinery Managing Director, was convicted in a US federal court for his role in a bribery scheme involving Ghanaian officials. The scheme, which ran from 2014 to 2017, involved over $1 million in bribes to secure approval for a power plant deal between Ghana and a Turkish energy company. Berko faces up to 30 years in prison at sentencing. The conviction has reignited scrutiny of Dr Kwabena Donkor, Ghana's Minister for Power at the time of the deal, who has denied any wrongdoing or involvement with Berko.
