On the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the May 9 Stadium Disaster which claimed 126 lives, Mr. Quashigah accused the NPP National Chairman who was then Minister of Presidential Affairs in 2001, of not accounting properly for the funds raised from the public to support relatives of the victims.
He suggested that Mr. Obetsebi Lamptey may have used part of the money for his personal gain.
But Mr. Obetsebi Lamptey has rubbished the claim and directed the Propaganda Secretary to acquaint himself of the work that was done and how monies collected were utilized.
He told Citi News Mr. Quashigah is only seeking to deflect attention from the successful coverage that the NPP was receiving from the ongoing ‘all hands on deck tour.’
He said it was thoughtless on the part of Mr. Quashigah to peddle such falsehood and politicize such a matter on a day when families were mourning their relatives in that disaster.
According to him, all the monies collected after the incident were audited by the Auditor General and handed over to the May 9 Disaster Funds which is being administered by Mr. J.S Addo.
He said the fund managers decided on how the monies were to be disbursed and what support to give the families of the deceased, adding it was decided that ‘the children should be allowed to have whatever schooling that they could qualify and aspire to without their fathers being there.
