The Deputy National Communications Officer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Kwaku Boahen has called on the President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, to come out and apologise to Ghanaians for his role in the infamous cash for seat saga.
The apology, the vociferous Communicator of the NDC said is necessary as it has been proven that Nana Addo played a role in the saga.
“Now that it has been revealed that Nana Addo knows something about the cash for seat saga, he must come out and apologise to Ghanaians. And the Ministry must apologise as well…,” he said.
Parliament set up a committee to investigate the saga which was raised on the floor of the house by minority Members of Parliament.
The Committee was tasked to investigate the alleged extortion of expatriates to allow them to sit close to President Akufo-Addo during the Awards ceremony in December 2017.
Minority members of the committee have since come out with their report; which Kwaku Boahen claim indicts the sitting President as playing a role in the cash for seat saga.
The report which was authored by the Minority members on the committee, Dr. Dominic Ayine and James Klutse Avedzi also claimed that the Millennium Excellence Foundation (MEF), organizers of the awards presented doctored documents to the five-member bipartisan committee.
And Kwaku Boahen speaking on Adom FM’s Morning Show, ‘Dwaso Nsem’ Monday said is an affront on the integrity of Nana Akufo-Addo who had earlier cleared Trade Minister, Alan Kyeramanteng of any wrong doing.
He further called on Ghanaians to reject the full report of the ad-hoc committee as according to him, the report was drafted at the headquarters of the New Patriotic Party.
“The report was written at the NPP headquarters and hence it ought to be rejected…it is just another evidence of corruption being entrenched in the Nana Addo’s government,” he said.

  1. Kwaku boahene, which report are you basing your call on, for which the president must apologise ? Is it the monority”s so called report or the speaker’s report which was laid in parliament on friday. The contents of that report have not been made public and has not been debated on by parliament. So where lies your conclusion. Kwaku, you must grow up for we are in a democratic dispensation. The minority’s report will be of no effect but only a matter of record that the contents represent their dissenting view. What matters will be the speaker’s report when it comes up for discussion and debate. Some persons in the ndc have set their own questions and have provided answers and want to carry the citizens along with them. Shallow thinking indeed. Such persons must read and educate themselves to know that there are parliamentary procedures and that, it is an institution governed by the country’s constitition and not the laws of the jungle. Leaking and publishing the minority’s report in some media websites do not make it the official one that will be dealt with and voted on by the house of parliament. Kwaku, you should know that. That takashi approach belongs to history: For 25 years on, Ghana has moved forward in its quest for matured democratic dispensation and anybody who deliberately refuses to recognise this will be left behind. That is the fact of the matter and matured personalities in the ndc know that.
