The NDC Professionals Forum says it is in support of the\nparty\u2019s call for an independent inquiry and may head to CHRAJ over President\nAkufo Addo\u2019s involvement in the \u201cNumber 12\u201d expose\u2019 that has seen football\ngoverning body FIFA slapping a lifetime ban on ex Ghana FA President Kwesi\nNyantakyi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The opposition party in a statement last week wants\nPresident Nana Akufo-Addo to “open himself up for transparent and credible\ninvestigations by an independent body” to clear his name in the bribery\nscandal unearthed in the video screened nationwide by ace investigative\njournalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Director for Research and Communications of the NDC\nProfessionals Forum International Joojo Djamson speaking on the ranging scandal\nfrom his US base, has hinted the group may be forced to seek the involvement of\nthe Commission of Human Rights and Administrative Justice CHRAJ to clean the\nmess around the presidency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr. Nyantakyi was caught on video implicating the President\nNana Akufo-Addo in a bribe collection syndicate at the Presidency. The former\nfootball mogul was seen in the said tape, arranging for the payment of $ 5\nmillion to the President and similar amounts for several top Ghana government\nofficials, in order to facilitate the award of juicy contracts to supposed\ninvestors. Mr. Nyantakyi also suggested in the said video, that such acts have\nmade the President amenable to his influence. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr. Djamson believes the scandal at the presidency is a setback to woo investors into the country. According to him, this and many actions of the Akufo Addo-led government is derailing the gains made by the NDC in the development of the country when it took power from Ex-President Kufour. The NDC professional\u2019s forum, which is a think tank within the opposition party is also asking the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) of the Police Service to as a matter of urgency update Ghanaians on the status of investigations into the scandal which has tarnished the image and reputation of all Ghanaians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
