The New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) Deputy Director of Communications, Ernest Owusu Bempah, has warned the Dr Mahamudu Bawumia camp against dirty politics.
According to Ernest Owusu Bempah, who is a member of the Kennedy Agyapong camp, they will also follow in that trajectory.
Ernest Owusu Bempah also responded to calls for his removal from office, describing it as a targeted attack over his support for Kennedy Agyapong.
He emphasised that the petitions against him have no basis.
Speaking on Afia Pokua’s Gyaso Gyaso programme, Ernest Owusu Bempah stated, “I am honestly taken aback by the turn of events. These petitions against me have no basis,” he said.
“My staunch support for the party is the reason for this adverse dislike. Certain elements from Bawumia’s camp are behind this petition,” he asserted.
“I believe in Ken’s philosophy. His strong character and likeable personality have endeared him to the masses.
“This is something my opponents cannot stand. That is why they resort to propaganda, trying to undermine him by claiming he is vituperative,” Bempah explained.
“I have done wrong, but I have unwavering support for Ken. If Bawumia’s camp wants to play dirty, we will follow that trajectory. I won’t mind even if it compromises the integrity of the party,” he warned.
Owusu-Bempah argued, “The party is going for a demonstration over intimidation [yet] the very people [are] intimidating their members who speak their minds,”
“Abronye called the whole national executive committee as kangaroo, but nobody called him because Bawumia,” he fumed.
Ernest Owusu Bempah further reiterated his comments that got him referred to the NPP’s National Council.
He quizzed his party on what moral ground they have to attack the John Mahama-led NDC government over galamsey.
Ernest Owusu Bempah maintained that his party (the NPP) has no moral high ground to demand accountability on galamsey from the current NDC administration.
He alleged that some NPP bigwigs participated in the galamsey menace during their tenure, which led to Akufo-Addo’s failure in the galamsey fight.
Owusu Bempah added, “Today, the NDC look at what they do, they protect their own, we must speak the truth to ourselves. The party, J A Kufuor and others created they allowed people to share their opinions.
If today, you have one person who will speak the truth to Ghanaians, for them to know the NPP speaks the truth. Are they saying the NPP does not support the truth?
The things people have said, Ghanaians themselves know. Today, I have received numerous messages from traditional leaders from the Ahsanti Region asking me what is going on,
The people in our party, a lot of them were doing galamsey, allegedly. Did you hear the NPP ending galamsey under Akufo-Addo? They embraced the president; today, Mahama is in power. What moral high ground do we have to attack the NDC over galamsey? Let the people of Ghana decide. We do not have the moral right, that is the point I am making”.
Meanwhile, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has dragged its Deputy Director of Communications, Ernest Owusu Bempah, to the National Council following multiple petitions for his removal.
According to the NPP, Ernest Owusu Bempah has been referred to the National Council, which has the authority to make a final determination.
