A deputy national communications Director for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), George Krobea Asante, has described as baseless, the request by the NDC for a bi-partisan committee into Prof. Frimpong Boateng’s report on Galamsey.
According to Krobea Asante, that would be a waste of time and resources because President had already tasked the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) to probe into the matter.
He said this shows how wasteful the NDC could be if they are ever given the mandate to rule this country.
“Is Sammy Gyamfi trying to tell us that the CID cannot handle the case, hence calls for the bi-partisan committee? The Inspector-General of Police (IGP) has restored confidence into the institution. After saying government has emptied its coffers, where do the NDC wants Government to get the money from to set-up a bi-partisan committee. Is that not a waste of resources?”, he fumed on Movement in the morning show on Movement TV.
He alleged that Sammy Gyamfi needed some funds from his party and the only way to have do so is to organize the press conference he did.
“He should be updated with the happenings in the country. Because the President had already initated move to ensure the report is probed. It could also be that he needed some money and the only means to get money from the party is to organize a press conference and thus needed to take advantage of Prof. Frimpong’s report. However, as a party we will study press release and address the misinformation and disinformation in no time”, he added.
