In The Matter Of State Bungalow Brouhaha…
Says He Must Discontinue Acquisition Of The Property
News Desk Report
Apart from Ayikoi Otoo and Egbert Faibille who are making all sorts of ugly noise in defence of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) National Chairman, Jake Otanka Obetsebi-Lamptey, supporting his takeover of a state bungalow he occupied as a Minister under the Kufuor Administration, Mr. Kwabena Agyei Agyapong publicly condemns his party’s chairman for disgraceful stance.
Known to be someone who speaks his mind, Mr. Kwabena Agyapong, speaking on Asempa FM’s Eko Sii Sen programme on Monday 28th May, 2012, sensing the danger Jake’s avowed stance to forcibly buy the state bungalow will pose to the electoral fortunes of the NPP, calls on the NPP chairman to relinquish the property.
According to him, politicians must set certain standards in the country, to help correct the erroneous impression that they only seek political power to loot state properties.
Absolutely not in support of his party chairman, Mr. Kwabena Agyapong asks that Jake discontinues the attempt acquisition of the property in the interest of the state. However, Ayikoi Otoo and Egbert Faibille Jnr. hold contrary view to that of the former presidential press secretary to Kufuor.
Mr. Agyapong noted that, the recent blame game between the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) and NPP over which party looted state lands the more, is eroding the confidence Ghanaians have in the political authority of the nation.
Mr. Agyapong, however, appeals to government to look dispassionately into all state lands that have ended up the hands of appointees of state. Kwabena Agyapong has spoken and it is up to Jake to apply his common sense and not allow toddlers like Egbert and Ayikoi to mislead him.
