Isaac Kofi Agyei Allegedly Met with NPP at a Hotel and Was Promised PRO Position at GoldBod

In an Official Facebook Post by Humble Richman on 26 October 2026, allegations were raised concerning Isaac Kofi Agyei, who the writer claimed had met with members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) at a hotel and had allegedly been promised the position of Public Relations Officer (PRO) at the Ghana Gold Board (GoldBod) should the party win the next election.

Richman expressed concern about what he described as a possible plan to use Agyei to disseminate information against prominent government officials under the cover of free speech and journalism. He called for the police to investigate the allegations, arguing that the matter deserved attention from the relevant authorities.

According to the post, the alleged meeting and promise of a future appointment raised questions about the relationship between political actors and individuals involved in public commentary. Richman suggested that Agyei could be used at a research desk to circulate information he described as falsehoods against members of the government.

However, the claims concerning the alleged hotel meeting, the purported promise of a GoldBod appointment and the suggested plan to target government officials remain allegations made in the Facebook post. No independent evidence was provided in the information available to establish that these events occurred as described.

Richman further claimed that, following Foreign Affairs Minister Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, other government officials could become targets of the alleged activities. He specifically mentioned Communications Minister Samuel Nartey George and Energy Minister John Abdulai Jinapor, expressing concern that they could also face what he characterised as the spread of false information.

His comments placed the issue within the broader debate about political communication, journalism and the circulation of information in Ghana. Political parties routinely engage communicators, researchers and media personalities to advance their positions and challenge those of their opponents. Such activities, however, raise legitimate questions when allegations emerge that information may be deliberately fabricated or presented in a misleading manner.

At the same time, political criticism, investigative reporting and the publication of information that challenges government officials are not, by themselves, evidence of wrongdoing. Establishing whether an individual has engaged in deliberate misinformation requires examining the specific statements involved, their factual accuracy, the available evidence and the circumstances in which they were published.

Richman called on the police to investigate Agyei, indicating that he believed the allegations warranted official scrutiny. An investigation, if undertaken, would need to establish whether the alleged meeting took place, whether any appointment was discussed and whether there is credible evidence of a plan to circulate false information against public officials.

The post also appealed to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) not to ignore the matter. Richman urged the party to pay attention to the allegations and the possible implications he associated with them.

His intervention highlights the politically sensitive nature of public communication, particularly when allegations involve potential appointments, party affiliations and claims of coordinated efforts to damage the reputations of government officials.

Ultimately, Humble Richman’s post calls for an investigation into what he alleges could be an arrangement involving Isaac Kofi Agyei and elements within the NPP. Whether the allegations have any factual basis remains to be established through credible evidence and, where appropriate, a fair investigation that gives all parties an opportunity to respond.
