In the Upper East Region, New Patriotic Party (NPP) communicators have given notice that they will no longer defend Databank and Black Stars Brokerage, in which current Finance Minister Ken Ofori Atta has financial stakes.
Wunison Khan Jambeidu, a member of the Upper East Region’s NPP Communications Team, maintains that they have completed enough hard work for these two organizations and questions why the Public Affairs Directorates of these businesses are not performing up to expectations.
He said that the NPP does not have the authority to stand up for privately owned companies involved in controversies and that they are tired of the criticism.
“I think that these two companies (Databank and Black Stars Brokerage) will have to be up and doing. They have Corporate Affairs departments, what are those departments doing? You have the NDC dragging these two companies over the last four-five years and we don’t hear these companies come out to defend themselves. It has to take me; it has to take the communications team of the party to defend them because these are party people. These companies belong to them or they have shares in these companies or though currently they have offloaded these shares and are not shareholders or directors of these companies,” he said on Dreamz Fm’s News Digest.
According to him “The Corporate Affairs departments of these companies would have to begin to speak for their companies. We have defended these companies enough. Look at this time [5 minutes] am using to deal with this matter, I’d have used these minutes to be able to tell our listeners how the cedi is depreciating and what government and the Bank of Ghana are doing”.
