The man who reported alleged diversion of funds within the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to the police, Baah Achamfour, insists his critics should deal with the substance of his allegations rather than resorting to name-calling.

He says he believes the act of diverting party funds is a criminal matter and never a civil one, and the most appropriate body in Ghana to deal with crime is the police service.

He also has no regret reporting the issue to the police, and wants anyone who thinks he was wrong in going to the police to quote him what law says so.

“I had reported the matter to the police before the committee was formed,” he told Valentina Ofori-Afriyie on Radio Gold Tuesday morning when the latter sought to ask why he did not report his suspicions to a committee set up by the party to probe the issue but chose to go to the police.

“The matter was reported to the police before they formed that committee, so I don’t think I’ve gone contrary. If the committee was to be in existence and maybe I by-passed them and reported the matter to the police that’s where someone might have accused me, but I reported the matter to the police before the committee was formed. So that issue does not come in at all, not at all,” he reiterated.
