The ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) has described as ‘palpable falsehood’ the over GH¢50 billion claim by the Deputy General Secretary of the party, Nana Obiri Boahen.

The party has tasked the Steering Committee to investigate the matter and make appropriate recommendations.

Mr Obiri Boahen in a secret tape alleged that the Presidency supported the party with Gh¢50 billion during the party’s 2017 National Annual Delegates Conference in Cape Coast.

‘When we were going to Cape Coast the other time, I was given GH¢3,000 as a member of the Resolution Committee and an additional GH¢2,000 for fuel. Meanwhile, the Flagstaff House gave the party an amount of GH¢50 billion,’ he alleged in the tape.

But a statement issued by the party and signed by the Acting General Secretary John Boadu said, ‘The party wishes to place on record that, no such thing happened and that, the claims are a palpable falsehood’.

NPP RESPONDS TO LEAKED OBIRI BOAHEN’S TAPE

The party wishes to place on record that, no such thing happened and that, the claims are a palpable falsehood.

Indeed, Nana Obiri Boahen himself has subsequently admitted to the falsity of his baseless allegation.

Nonetheless, the party takes serious view of his unfortunate comments and has accordingly tasked the Steering Committee to immediately look into the matter and make appropriate recommendations.

Finally, we wish to assure our members and the Ghanaian people that, the NPP is scrupulously minded of the line that exists between government and the party and would uphold the distinction at all times.

Thank you.
…Signed…
JOHN BOADU
General Secretary (Ag)
