AUGUST 14, 2005 : (REPORT : UN SEC GEN KOFI ANNAN'S BROTHER KOBINA ANNAN, WHO IS ALSO GHANA'S AMBASSADOR TO MOROCCO, IS CONNECTED TO AFRICAN BUSINESSMAN MICHAEL WILSON, WHO IS AT THE CENTER OF THE UN OIL FOR FOOD SCANDAL) LONDON — The $21.3 billion United Nations oil-for-food scandal has now widened to include the brother of U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan. Kobina Annan, the Ghanaian ambassador to Morocco, is said by investigators to be "connected" to an African businessman at the center of the scandal. The probe into Kobina's dealings are at an early stage and he has not been interviewed. However, investigators are understood to suspect that Michael Wilson, an African businessman, and Kobina had a business relationship at the time of the scandal. A source close to the investigation said: "We believe Kobina Annan may be involved with Michael Wilson and Kojo Annan. We know there is a connection between Kobina and Wilson." Kobina is the second member of Annan's family — after Annan's son Kojo — to be drawn into the scandal, which has led to the resignation of several senior U.N. officials.

MOre recently there is a Ghana connection to William "cold Cash" Jefferson of Louisiana and congressman Wexler, who had a very weird blackmail incident involving someone in Ghana.

JULY 2005 : (WILLIAM JEFFERSON & GHANA) When the group met again at a law firm to consummate the deal, the congressman approached Pfeffer in the lobby and demanded a 5 to 7 percent share of the new company, the documents say.
In July 2005, the documents say, the group sought to pursue a similar arrangement in Ghana. That month, Pfeffer, Representative A, an unnamed member of the congressman [william Jefferson] ’s family and a member of the congressional staff travelled to Ghana, a time period that coincides with Jefferson’s visit to the West African nation. Pfeffer reported back regularly to the investor in the United States about progress during the trip, according to the documents.
“Pfeffer observed Representative A meeting with various high-level Ghanaian government officials to promote the Ghana deal,” documents say. “Pfeffer was also present when Representative A met with officials of the Ex-Im Bank in Washington, D.C., to further promote the Ghana deal.”
Later, the documents say, Representative A told Pfeffer that “a member of (his) extended family” would serve as secretary of the newly created Ghana company and would handle marketing.
