Thu, 10 Apr 2003 Source: Joy Online

A leading member of the opposition NDC - Ama Benyiwa Doe is to appear before the Police CID for commenting on the state of the national economy. According to the Director of Police CID, Ama Benyiwa Doe- the NDC?s MP for Gomoa West and member of the party?s campaign team for Gomoa East allegedly made the statement at an NDC campaign rally at Gomoa Achiase.

Mrs. Benyiwa Doe is expected to meet the CID team today for what is said to be a discussion of her statements on the economy. The letter of invitation had requested the MP to appear before the CID on Monday, but according to sources she received the invitation late.

Mrs. Benyiwa Doe told JOY FM this morning that she made two statements on the national economy during the rally. According to her, she questioned the rationale behind the President?s recent decision to buy a bullet-proof vehicle when majority of Ghanaians are suffering.

She also noted that while the government spent so much money to print the new ?10,000 and ?20,000 denominations with the promise that enough security measures had been put in place against counterfeits, there are so many counterfeits in the system.

NDC MP for Kumbungu, Alhaji Mohammed Mumuni has condemned the invitation describing it as one of the many forms of harassment of persons critical of the NPP administration.
