The Administrative Secretary to the Nuumo Nmashie Family Of Teshie And La Mr. Ablorh Mensah has stated that Mr Samuel Larbi Darko is the only person that they granted him the power of attorney.
We granted the power of attorney to Mr Samuel Larbi Darko because of his competence and his experience in surveying and engineering said, Mr Ablorh Mensah, Ghana, Powers of Attorney are governed by the Power of Attorney Act 1998, Act 549.
A power of attorney may be defined as a document authorising a person to act on behalf of another person. The person authorising another to act on his behalf is known as the “principal or the “donor” and the person authorized to act on behalf of another person is known as the “attorney” or the “donee”.
The effect of a power of Attorney is to confer power on a donee or in the case of more than one donee, the authority to perform acts which can lawfully be done by a donee or attorney. A power of attorney can be created for any purpose including for security purposes. A power of attorney is revocable at any time so madam Naa Doduwa Holdbrooke should come and explain to us.
Her power of attorney was not properly obtained.
Nii Adjei Otswenmah was the person who granted her the power of attorney and he died on 10th March 2010 so if she is holding his power of attorney that is irregular the power of attorney is also dead.
