Audio Attachment:Listen to The Minority Leader, Hon Osei Kyei Mensah-Bonsu in an interview with Peace Fm's Kwami Sefa-Kayi on the "kokrokoo" programme |
Former Education Minister, Betty Mould-Iddrisu is alleged to have threatened to end the life of the Minority Leader in Parliament, Hon. Osei Kyei Mensah-Bonsu.
The soft-spoken, benign looking Betty Mould-Iddrisu who is at the centre of the Woyome saga is reported to have vowed to kill the NPP MP by knifing him.
It is however unclear what offense the MP for Suame has committed against her to warrant this alleged threat.
The Minority Leader confirmed this disturbing piece of information in an interview with CitiFM on Tuesday evening.
Asked how he got to know of the threat, Hon Kyei Mensah-Bonsu said some close confidants of the former Minister who heard her say �she was going to deal with me by ending my life� later confided in me and asked me to be chary.
But the Minority Leader says he is largely unperturbed by the alleged threat on his life since he knows she (Betty) is incapable of acting it out. He, however, said he will be meeting with some of his friends to discuss the implications of the former A-G�s alleged threat.
��I don�t believe she is capable of executing it�however, I will discuss it with my colleagues and if we would have to go to the police, we will do that�,� Hon Osei Kyei Mensah-Bonsu said.
Recently, the Minority Caucus in Parliament called on President John Evans Atta-Mills to relieve Betty Mould-Iddrisu of her current ministerial post as education minister for being �negligent, reckless and unprofessional� in the Woyome saga.
They accused her of conniving with embattled NDC financier, Alfred Agbesi Woyome to fleece the state when she was Attorney-General and Minister of Justice and that her actions and inactions in the whole �Woyome brouhaha� is tantamount to causing financial loss to the state.
At a press conference in December last year, the Minority demanded investigations into the whole process and even asked for an independent public inquiry into the case, to be televised live on national television, to avail the processes to Ghanaians and to settle the issue once and for all.
It is however unclear if the alleged threat has anything to do with the Minority�s call for her dismissal or if the threat was made in jest.
