Former Member of Parliament for Bantama constituency in the Ashanti Region, Henry Kokofu has taken a jibe at the Member of Parliament for Bolgatanga Central, Isaac Adongo, who boycotted Parliament's probe into the collapse of some seven indeginous banks.
The Bolgatanga Central MP, though a member of the Finance Committee of Parliament, walked out of a meeting by the Committee on the issue.
He reportedly described the Parliamentary probe to ascertain the facts relating to the collapse of the banks as a "rubber stamp process, it will deliver no value [and] I am not willing to be part of it”.
According to him, the Committee has been furnished with only soft documents about the issue, hence demanding the hard copy of the documents to assist them in conducting a serious probe into the issue.
He further added the Committee has not been provided with all the relevant materials to have an independent and credible work.
But speaking on Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo' programme, Henry Kokofu believed the Minority MP is only afraid of his own shadow because of thinking himself to be knowledgeable in finances.
To Kokofu, Hon. Adongo is scared his almighty financial credentials will be put to test during the probe and so wants a "comfort zone" to please himself.
“He’s not fit for that purpose. He has also seen that, at that Committee level; he will be confronted with bare facts and evidence which will make it difficult for him to know the revelations. He calls himself financial mugu, someone well-versed in finances (luminary), who wants his colleagues in the NDC and supporters to accept him in such manner. So, he was afraid of his own shadow. He is and he was. The time he walked out, he was afraid. Today, he is afraid of his own shadow," he stressed.

This Adongo man is such a petty person who feels he must challenge every good ideas and bulldoze his small myopic Financial skills through since NDC Party lacks such gurus. He must give us all a break and stop exposing his ignorance in Finance. But for party politics that has become cheap for some political parties, where would Adongo even get the chance to speak that trash by supporting the rot in the banking sector and ready to transfer it back to former shareholders...The World Bank, IMF, etc are all watching. Your CV is even not attractive to them
Adongo contributed to the collapse of some of the banks for not paying his loans ...... That is why he is running away. Empty barrel Adongo making the most noise.....
IT IS ONLY IN NDC THAT WILL HAIL THIS ADONGO GUY AS FINANCIAL EXPERT.HE DOESN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT FINANCE BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE PEOPLE LIKE KEN IN THEIR PARTY.
Why is Parliament being refused those documents Adongo is asking for?
