Mr. Kobina Tahir Hammond, Member of Parliament (MP) for Adansi Asokwa, says he has nothing to fear from the discredited National Democratic Congress (NDC) and its uninformed General Secretary, Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, as he prepares to defend his seat in the 2016 parliamentary election.
Mr. Asiedu-Nketiah has been making ugly noises about the NDC retiring the veteran Asokwa MP from Parliament when the people go to the polls on December 7, to pave the way for putting Mr. Hammond before court and jailing him over the drill ship affair.
But the MP says the NDC General Secretary’s statement gives General Mosquito away as an ignoramus on constitutional issues.
“It is absolutely clear that Asiedu-Nketiah does not understand what is written in the Constitution. He better get a literate person to interpret the Constitution to him. The Constitution is a far cry from his palm wine tapping adventures. It needs a scholarly mind to unravel, and not the mumblings of a man who does not know his left from right.”
Mr. Hammond advised the NDC scribe to take a closer look at the findings of the Justice Appau Committee on the drill ship before visiting his ignorance on Ghanaians. “If there is anybody waiting to go to prison, it is certainly Asiedu Nketia. He has a conflict of interest case waiting for him over the infamous blocks for the Bui Dam Construction. Mr. Asiedu Nketiah should take note. He has a few things to answer from the courts, not least, how he came to manufacture blocks for a company he is supposed to lead as Chairman of the Board. Of course, I am referring to the Bui Sam project,” Mr. Hammond told The Chronicle.
The Asokwa MP, an accomplished lawyer, shot at the NDC General Secretary: “That is not all, Mr. Asiedu Nketiah would have to tell Ghanaians how a political party that could not even pay utility bills for its headquarters while in opposition, suddenly amassed a staggering US$20 million to construct its new head office complex. It is a serious issue that should interest all Ghanaians.”
He said, as the sitting Member of Parliament, he was not worried about NDC machinations, using the candidate rejected by the New Patriotic Party. According to Mr. Hammond, he is aware of dirty NDC machinations in his constituency, using the candidate thrown out at the highest decision making body of the party.
“Politics is about numbers. But, Richard Oduro Anokye is not one who would add or subtract anything from my votes in the Adansi Asokwa Constituency. Everybody should check whether the NDC has done anything of worth in the Constituency, and for that matter, the whole of Adansi.”
He said it was not for nothing that the chiefs and opinion leaders made him Nkosuohene (Development Chief) of the whole Adansi Traditional Area. “Every single town or village in the Adansi area has light. The NDC and Asiedu-Nketia should find out how the light came about. I have paid my dues to Adansiman, and I know for sure that the people would repay me for my contribution towards the development of the area.”
He said he had also campaigned hard. “Anytime, Nana Akufo-Addo touches base in the Ashanti Region, he comes to my constituency. The people know that the New Patriotic Party stands for development. We deliver them. We do not make noise and make false claims like our opponents,” said Mr. Hammond.
