The Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) has interdicted two of its officers, Daniel Godsway and George Amoako, over allegations of fraud, document alteration, impersonation, and forgery of official documents, including the signature of the EPA’s Chief Executive Officer, Prof. Nana Ama Browne Klutse.
The two officers are accused of unlawfully reproducing an official document bearing the forged signature of Prof. Klutse and altering its content to misdirect proponents seeking EPA licenses to an incorrect location.
According to the original document, which was reviewed by JoyNews, the EPA had instructed proponents to report to the Head Office at Ministries, Accra—specifically to “rooms 404 or 405 within 48 hours for discussions with the backroom staff on the detailed processes of regularising their operations.”

However, in the alleged forged document, the officers redirected proponents to “the EPA Head Office, Room B13, within 48 hours for discussions on the detailed processes of regularising their operations.”
A leaked memo signed by the CEO described the officers’ actions as “an egregious misrepresentation of official authority, amounting to forgery, abuse of office, and a fundamental breach of fiduciary duty.”
The memo further indicated that their actions might contravene Ghana’s Criminal Code 1960 (Act 29), particularly provisions related to forgery, fraudulent misrepresentation, and unauthorised use of official documents.
Both officers remain interdicted pending further investigations. The EPA has reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining the highest ethical standards and ensuring the integrity of its official communications.
The authority also issued a stern warning that any unauthorised alteration or manipulation of official documents is a serious violation of institutional policies and legal statutes.
It emphasised that such actions will not be tolerated under any circumstances and that strict measures will be enforced to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
