In a letter to DSI Amoako-Atta, Mr. Nimako said the DSI was either not briefed or was churning out “malicious falsehood to the public carefully calculated to dent my hard worn reputation.”

[contextly_sidebar id=”GxHMFB1TTm86qgKHLSs3YCCqwshZKfGK”]In a previous statement signed by DSI Amoako-Atta, that accused Mr. Sivaram of attempting to enter Ghana illegally after he was deported from the country, Mr. Nimako said direct attributions were made to him that were “inaccurate and malicious.”

Among the claims made in the Immigration Service’s press release, Mr. Nimako was said to have served the Minister for the Interior and the Comptroller-General of Immigration a motion on Notice, for mandamus to compel the Minister and the Comptroller-General of Immigration to restore the applicant Mr. Sivram’s residence and work permit.

The Immigration Service statement also said Mr. Nimako, representing his client, wrote a letter to the Service applying for a Visa-On-Arrival, which was rejected because of the application run contrary to the Immigration Act 573 and the Immigration Regulations 2001, 1691.

The Immigration Service said the correct procedure was for Mr. Nimako to have applied for the Entry Visa on behalf of his client and for the application to be granted before the client (Mr. Ashok Sivaram) entered the country.

But Mr. Nimako said, “in general response to the entire Press Release, I wish to respectfully inform you that it is proper to give a correct narrative of the sequence of events to the public in the interest of the Ghana Immigration Service. I therefore respectfully implore you to immediately retract the inaccurate and defamatory attributions made to be in your Press Release forthwith.”

According to the lawsuit filed by his lawyer, Gary Nimako, the temporary working visa will enable him live and work legally in the country while figting his illegal deportation case in court.

An Accra High court had earlier indicated that the Interior Minister breached the rule of natural justice by refusing to give the plaintiff a hearing after he had accused him of allegedly committing fraud.

The court on July 31, 2017, quashed the deportation of Mr. Sivaram by Ambrose Derry.

According to the court, the Interior Minister exceeded his jurisdiction by determining fraud against the Indian businessman without recourse to the court.

The court also indicated that the Interior Minister breached the rule of natural justice by not giving the plaintiff a hearing after he had accused him of allegedly committing fraud.

But Mr. Sivaram, since his return to the country has not been given a visa despite a court order.

The Indian businessman has also petitioned President Nana Akufo-Addo to call the Minister of Interior and the Comptroller of the Ghana Immigration Service to order over what he termed as harassment by the aforementioned personalities.

Mr. Sivaram said he was constantly being harassed by officials of the Ghana Immigration Service and he believes his frustrations are part of a grand scheme to transfer his interest in his company, Jai Mai Communications Limited, to his business partner.

The Comptroller-General of the Ghana Immigration Service, Kwame Asuah Takyi has, however, rejected accusations that he is conniving with the Interior Minister to frustrate the Indian businessman.

We’ve no agenda against Indian businessman

Meanwhile, the Comptroller-General of the Ghana Immigration Service, Kwame Asuah Takyi has rejected accusations that he is conniving with the Interior Minister Ambrose Dery, to frustrate an Indian businessman.

“He has misled the public. He has thrown dust into the eyes of the public. What would the Minister of Interior, honorable Ambrose Dery, gain by interfering in the business of a foreign expatriate… why should he?” Mr. Takyi asked in a Citi News interview.
