Former Member of Parliament for Adentan, Kojo Adu-Asare, has suggested that the MP for Asutifi North deserves a position in government, describing him as calm, respectful, and politically valuable to the National Democratic Congress (NDC).
Speaking on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, Mr. Adu-Asare said he was impressed by the MP’s composure when they met, noting that his election victory was historic for the NDC.
“I’ve met him once, he’s very calm. The NDC has never won that seat before, and he’s the first to do so. If he is given an appointment, it would be good for both him and the party,” he stated.
Commenting on reports linking the MP to an alleged attack on the National Anti-Illegal Mining Operations Squad (NAIMOS), Mr. Adu-Asare expressed compassion for him but maintained that accountability must prevail.
“If investigations find him culpable, then I cannot defend him. But perhaps if he had a government appointment, the incident might not have happened,” he noted.
He further cautioned members of the NDC to remain vigilant and avoid any involvement in illegal mining, stressing the importance of upholding integrity in all matters related to galamsey.
