Joshua Hamidu Akamba, Deputy National Organizer of NDC
The Deputy National Organizer of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Captain Joshua Hamidu Akamba has described claims by NPP's Mr Thomas Kusi Boafo that former President John Dramani Mahama and his ministers sold 376 state vehicles as blatant lies.
Mr. Thomas Kusi Boafo, who is also the CEO of Public Sector Reforms alleged on Kessben Tv's Morning show that Former President Mahama and the Former Chief of Staff sold over 376 state vehicles to themselves, friends, families and other relations at cheap prices.
These claims, he said supported the report of the committee that was set up by President Akufo-Addo to investigate and retrieve all stolen state vehicles.
But Deputy National Organizer of the NDC in a statement dared Kusi Boafo to release the documents to back his claims, sue the suspects or meet him in court to justify the lies.
Below is the full statement
I have noted with grave concern, blatant lies peddled by Thomas Kusi Boafo, a supposed CEO of Public Sector Reforms about former President John Dramani Mahama and officials of the NDC, in a video that has that has gone viral on social media.
I must admit that I'm not surprised that the said event took place on Kessben TV and with one of the most 'irresponsible' morning show host in the country but I thought that a year after a task force was set up by President Akufo-Addo to witch-hunt NDC Officials and Former Government Appointees in the name of retrieving "stolen state vehicles", Kusi Boafo would update us on the number of NDC members they have been able to prosecute or arranged before court for the said offense.
I am challenging Kusi Boafo to sue these supposed NDC Officials he claims sold 376 state vehicles under President Mahama or else face us in court to prove these frivolous allegations with Kessben TV.
But for 'irresponsible' journalism on the part of Omanhene of Kessben TV, how could Kusi Boafo get a platform to peddle such blatant lies?
The most appalling aspect of all these is that they peddle these lies with lots of courage and seriousness.
If Kusi Boafo and his NPP's intention is to use journalists who don't know their job and Kessben TV to send the hard earn reputation of individuals in the NDC, then must be prepared to defend their allegations in court.
