Sam George Nartey, MP for Ningo-Prampram, vehemently condemned National Security Minister Albert Kan Dapaah, Interior Minister Ambrose Dery and National Security Minister Bryan Acheampong , for lying before the commission investigating the violence that occurred at the partial election of Ayawaso West Wuogon.

The MP, who was beaten by thugs operating under the disguise of National Security, described state ministers as high-profile liars who have neither conscience nor integrity.

He tweeted, "The liars in high places. Men of little conscience and no integrity. Shameful! I feel angry. "

Three ministers of state appeared before the inquiry commission of Judge Emile Short, composed of three members, and reported on the security situation in the by-election.

The ministers condemned political vigilance with one voice, saying that it was a criminal act and that those who surrendered to it should be punished in accordance with the law. .

In a response to a question to Ambrose Dery, Ambrose Dery said, "As reported by IGP, who was in charge of operations, I would say that there were police deployed and that There were also agents from the Ghana Immigration Service, also deployed in the 137 polling stations. That's what I know …

"… I first saw on TV some people dressed in khaki, others wearing masks and armed … and when I had the video, I got it forwarded to the police and he said that it was not part of my men. I later learned that a National Security Officer had declared to be National Security Officers, "he added.

Mr. Kan-Dapaah, however, noted that the idea that self-defense groups of partisans were owned by political parties was false and that no party in the country possessed such groups. . adding that vigilante groups were more the property of members of political parties.

"There is not a group of security guards belonging to a political party, the Center for Democratic Development (CDD) has just published a study that establishes that these groups of vigils belong to individuals and pillars within political parties . "

"So, the NPP does not have a group of security guards as such, because you will find that there is not a group of party vigilantes." Mr. Eric Osei Mensah, the Board's Board also asked Mr. Bryan Acheampong if the media was touring Mr. Acheampong replied in the negative, saying that at no time did he make such a statement.

He said that he had given three interviews to three media outlets and that in all his remarks he had used the words "we have deployed …."; referring to national security.

At this point, the Council of the Commission has requested that the recording of the interview granted by Bryan Acheampong on a Citi FM in Accra be broadcast. After listening to the tape for eight minutes, she confirmed Bryan Acheampong's bid.
