The Wa West MP, Joseph Yieleh Chireh claims members in the governing New Patriotic Party are attempting to sabotage the future presidential ambitions of the Vice President, Dr Mahamudu Bawumia.
His comments come after it was discovered that expired food items had been presented by the vice president to scores of residents affected by floods following the spillage of the Bagre Dam in the Wa Municipality.
The food items, cooking oil and rice were distributed to the flood victims over the weekend by Dr Bawumia during his visit to the region.
A reporter from Graphiconline, who first broke the story, said the vegetable cooking oils, for instance, had a September 01, 2018 expiry date.

Rafiq also spoke to a family who had fallen ill after some of the cooking oil and rice were used in the preparation of a meal.
It was confirmed at the hospital that the cause of their illness was the meal they had, Abubakari told Rafiq.
But Mr Yieleh Chireh said the expired items were deliberately included in the items donated by the vice president to create disaffection for him.
