Deputy General Secretary of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) has lashed out at the security agencies for being biased in their approach to addressing alleged criminal issues in the country.
Mr Obiri Boahen accused the Police Service, under John Kudalor of being pretentious as they have suddenly discovered themselves only when the cases involve suspected NPP sympathizers.
After recounting a series of alleged criminal cases involving some NDC bigwigs he challenged the Police to be fair in their dealings and go after those people as crime has no deadline.
Mr. Obiri Boahen made these remarks as he addressed a media briefing Wednesday 18 January at the NPP head office at Asylum down.
“We remind the Police under John Kudalor that they cannot suddenly discover themselves only when events involve suspected NPP supporters and sympathizers.
We demand even handedness from the Police. Crime has no expiry date and we await what their response will be in these cases which we have recounted among others. The police must demonstrate that their sword is double edged. They cannot discover their muscle only when the event involves suspected NPP sympathizers - Anita de Soso and others are still around.”
He stated that the NDC has no authority to accuse the NPP of acting wrongfully and against the law.
The NPP Deputy General Secretary also cautioned the NDC, asserting that if the NDC should bring into disrepute the name of the President Nana Akufo-Addo, they will reply in equal measure.
“As for Hon. Kofi Portuphy, Asiedu Nketia, and Koku Anyidoho and their gang, ladies and gentlemen, we shall caution that from now on if they throw mud on the president in whom we unprecedentedly, overwhelmingly, majority of Ghanaians have reposed their confidence in, we will pay them back. Enough is enough.”
The NDC have organized a series of media briefings, accusing the NPP of doing about the post-election violence and urging them on to take over state installations.
The NDC was handed a historic defeat in the December 7 2016 general election and power has transitioned from the NDC to the NPP with Nana Akufo-Addo as President.
The two parties have ruled the country in turns since the fourth republic.

Nobody can blame those people taking over government offices. In 2009 after election, Kofi Potorphy, the current NDC CHAIRMAN, forcefully took over the NADMO HEAD OFFICE. As a matter of fact, Potorphy taught these young guy the trade.
Campaign season is over, let's stop the blame game and work hard to alleviate the hardship of Ghanaians instead of doing politics 24/7.
Massa, if you think Ghanaians are interested in this Ndc npp nun sense then you are joking. The way we voted Ndc out despite their high infrastructural development, should give you an idea that what Ghanaians are looking for is not fight between the two of you but money in our pockets. Instead of beginning to tackle serious bread and butter issues, you started the same arrogance that sent the Ndc parking. What you must understand is that due to your vibrant campaign, you have enlightened us how how no government should be allowed to misbehave. Four years is just on the corner, so cut the arrogance and address real important issues. The dollar is already running and petroleum prices is already increasing. Stop indirectly hounding the igp and fight for some position. I thank God Nana addo is wise enough to keep evil minds like you out of his Frontline appointees.
Why don't you fire the police chief and replace him the earlier the better
NPP face what is b/4 you and stop the past tenses.
If it is true that there has been violence against the NDC, I think it is very small. They should remember what they did to NPP members at Agbogboloshie where 5 people were killed.Whee was the police? During demonstration where Kudalor damaged somebody's eye. The beating if any should be more. KUdalor,your time is up just pack and go.
