The Asante Akim Central constituency secretary for the\u00a0New Patriotic Party\u00a0(NPP), Felix Amakye, has accused the Member of Parliament, Kwame Anyimadu Antwi, of orchestrating the arrest of Kofi Ofosu Nkansah, the Chief Executive Officer of the National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme (NEIP).<\/strong><\/p>\nSpeaking in an interview on Citi News on January 10, 2024, Amakye alleged that Anyimadu Antwi informed his assistant that he intended to report Nkansah to the Special Prosecutor, alleging that the NEIP CEO had distributed money to delegates in anticipation of the upcoming NPP parliamentary primaries.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe MP reported Kofi Ofosu because he told my assistant, Debrah Philip, that he was going to report Kofi Ofosu to the Special Prosecutor and that is what he has done.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am the constituency secretary and we know all the delegates and when they meet too, we know everything and it includes our family members and it is an open thing and he gave it (money) to every delegate and the delegates are around 623 and everybody knows it and so I don\u2019t know why MP is pushing this thing to that end.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy wife is a delegate and she collected GH\u00a2300 from the MP. Kofi shared it (money)with all delegates and that is what the MP also did and it is a Christmas package,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
However, in response, Anyimadu Antwi has denied the allegations, asserting that he did not know of Nkansah\u2019s arrest.<\/p>\n
He accused Amakye of bias and spreading misinformation, highlighting previous claims made on social media by the constituency secretary regarding financial payments to delegates.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have no clue about what the secretary is alleging and it is about time for us to do the elections and the primaries are still around the corner and this is not a do-or-die affair.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe secretary has taken sides with one of the contenders and has been speaking passionately and there is pain in the constituency speaking to delegates.<\/p>\n
\u201cIf you are talking about reporting anybody to the OSP, I have no idea, but he [Felix Amakye] is on record saying that my preferred candidate has been paying GH\u00a2500,000 and promised to pay GH\u00a21 million to people and he said these things on Facebook,\u201d citinewsroom.com quoted him to have said.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Kofi Ofosu Nkansah, the NEIP CEO and a contestant for the Asante Akim Central parliamentary seat has been released following his arrest by the Special Prosecutor.<\/p>\n
