In sharp contrast however, just last week,  he sent a team to the Australian high commission just after the high commissioner had tweeted about filth in that area.<\/p>\n<p>That action alone re-ignited calls for President Akufo-Addo to axe him.<\/p>\n<p>But it appears some persons close to Kofi Adda are unimpressed with the fierce nature Afreh-Nuamah particularly, has conducted his campaign to get the minister and his deputies to do more to tackle the dire sanitation situation in the country.<\/p>\n<p>Ghanaweb is in possession of an audio recording in which one Hajia Boya who claims to work at the NPP headquarters is heard boldly threatening the journalist.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;If you dare criticize Kofi Adda again, I will teach you a bitter lesson. I will make sure you are bedridden. I will make sure you are crippled for life. Are you the one who appointed Kofi Adda? So why are you calling on president Akufo-Addo to sack him. You think you can sit on Facebook and write any nonsense at all eh? I will teach you a bitter lesson if you don&#8217;t stop criticizing Kofi Adda. Do you think he is your class? Even Paul Afoko I dealt with him. You are like a small Lizard.
