The office of former President John Dramani Mahama has denied claims that the supposed diplomatic passport embattled Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Menzgold, Nana Appiah Mensah alias NAM 1 was issued under the erstwhile National Democratic Congress (NDC) administration.
This follows reports earlier made by the third Vice Chair of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP), Michael Omari Wadie.
But a statement issued from the office of Mr. John Dramani Mahama signed by Joyce Bawah Mogtari his special Aide had said such claims were deliberate attempts to drag former President John Mahama and other executives of the NDC into the unfolding MenzGold saga.
Below is the full text…
There appears a desperate attempt, unsuccessful so far, by the NPP to drag former President John Mahama and other executives of the NDC into the unfolding MenzGold saga.
Fact though is that, neither Mr. Mahama nor his wife have any investments in MenzGold and the spurious claims by the NPP’s vice chairman that Nana Appiah was issued with a diplomatic passport by the NDC administration is just what it is, spurious and false.
Such lies being peddled by an obviously desperate government will not change the views and disappointments of Ghanaians in the Nana Addo administration.
Thank you
