Come and prove that JB Danquah was a CIA mole – Annoh-Dompreh challenges Murtala

The Member of Parliament of Nsawam/Adoagyiri, Frank Annoh-Dompreh, has called on Tamale Central MP, Ibrahim Murtala Mohammed, to urgently provide evidence to Ghanaians that proves that Joseph Boakye Danquah was indeed a CIA mole.

His comments follow arguments made by Murtala Mohammed on the floor of Parliament, asserting that J.B. Danquah is not worth celebrating because scholars have labelled him a traitor and a CIA agent planted in Ghana to sell the country’s secrets.

In response, Annoh-Dompreh has asked Murtala to substantiate his claim that J.B. Danquah was a CIA agent.

He described his colleague's remarks as derogatory and unparliamentary, urging that they be disregarded.

According to the MP, “On the other matter, I felt our colleague Murtala made a point ascribing some allegations of J.B. Danquah being a CIA agent and he said he had evidence of J.B. Danquah being a CIA agent and also a betrayer of the state. We thought that was outward, that was outlandish and that was out of place and it's not parliamentary,” he stated.

Annoh-Dompreh further urged the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Bagbin, to initiate an investigation into the matter.

Despite having already lodged an official complaint, he remains convinced that an investigation is necessary.

He believes that a thorough investigation would reveal the truth about J.B. Danquah's alleged involvement as a CIA mole.

“… but we felt that on this note, we want to make a formal complaint, on our side we want to make a formal complaint to your side, but this should be investigated, and the records reflect. Once this is investigated, we should get to the bottom of this too. It's quite unfortunate we've allowed this to go and we are not commenting about it.

“Nobody is attempting to draw parity. No, it is not an attempt to draw parity. Dr. Zanetor knows how we on this side respect her; I respect her a lot, but the allegations thrown at J.B. Danquah cannot be wished away.”

He stressed that Murtala Mohammed's comment was superfluous and he should be held accountable for making such allegations.

“We will pray your wisdom on this matter and we should bring some finality to it. And I make that point strongly, that it was unparliamentary comment and was totally unnecessary that it should be expunged from the records and Murtala should be called to answer some questions, reasons why he made those allegations against J.B. Danquah,” he added.
