Agyenim-Boateng gives NPP More Headache

The paper carries a banner headline "Agyenim-Boateng gives NPP More Headache". According to the story, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is allegedly planning to wage an all out war against the former General Secretary of the Party, Mr. Agyenim Boateng for threatening to sue the NPP for an alleged embarrassment.

According to the story, an emergency meeting held last Tuesday, July, 13, at the Party?s headquarters agreed among other things to confiscate a printing machine

believed to have been bought by Dr kofi Abrefa Busia, Prime Minister of the second Republic, but which has been in the custody of Mr Agyenim Boateng.

Dr Busia it is believed bought the machine to be used in political organisation after his overthrow in 1972 for but was registered in the name of Mr Agyenim-Boateng to avoid being confiscated by the then military government..

According to the paper, some of the charges brought against the former General Secretary was failing to return three official cars in his possession after leaving office, and divulging party secrets to the "Democrat and "Palaver" news papers, which the Party considers as their bitter enemies.

Meanwhile, the paper stated that, the validity of this demand was questioned by the member of Parliament for Sunyani East and also the Minority leader in Parliament saying "if Mr. Agyenim Boateng must return the printing machine to the NPP, then all the leading members of the party who received huge sums of money from Dr. Busia from London must also return their booty to the party".

The paper concluded that Mr. Agyenim Boateng is comfortably operating his printing business without any fear or threat since the machines were officially registered in his name as far back as the 70s.
