Immediate past High Commissioner to India, Sam Pee Yalley says some stalwarts in the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) could end up in jail if the party begins to probe the whereabouts of campaign funds meant for the 2016 elections.
He alleged that some parliamentary candidates “collected monies in the name of campaigning to retain the party but pocketed the cash and never used it.”
Speaking on Radio Gold current affairs program, Alhaji and Alhaji Saturday, Sam Pee Yalley, who is also a public interest lawyer, said “people squandered the campaign monies thinking that the popularity of the former president Mahama could win him the elections.”
“If we are going to talk about blame I am saying that there are some people who could even go to jail on the account that we gave you this amount of money; how did you spend it?” Sam Pee Yelley questioned.
He added: “I know of parliamentary candidates who were so sure Mahama was going to win and therefore did not use the resources given to them for the campaign. I am telling you, this is one election NDC spent so much money but the money did not go to the grassroots.”
He stressed that he personally made contributions in the form of cash to support the campaign but “some elements within the party collected the money and misused it.”
He also said “those NDC members who squandered the party’s campaign cash are those making noise” in the media over the party’s defeat.
His comment is occasioned by media reports that former president Mahama will soon drop the names of members of the NDC Functional Executive Committee members who went to him for money for the campaign.
According to media reports, Mr. Mahama has been compelled to do so after several reports that some members of the party are accusing him of failing to resource the party hence their defeat at the polls.
Sam Pee Yalley is entreating all aggrieved party members to channel their concerns to the Dr. Kwesi Botchway committee that is investigating the defeat of the NDC in the 2016 presidential elections.

Sam Pee Yalley are you suggesting that those found to have stolen NDC campaign money should be jailed by who and to fed in prison by who? The NDC should provide money for their feeding and upkeep if they are jailed. Agreed?
If squandering campaign monies will end them in jail then misappropriating tax-payers money, in the form of create, loot and share should end those people in serious places bigger than jail. U guys should then not make witch-hunting noise because it will just be accounting for stewardship, not wictch-hunting. By the way, witches are to be chased out of the society.
This dude is back on the scene again and he's still suffering from verbal diarrhea. Please spare us your nunsensikal gibberish. Where did Ghana go wrong to have our sensibilities constantly assaulted by these folks whose "value-added" to the state has been nothing but their ***barred word*** asx-kissing attachment to politricksters which has earned them undeserved positions and left the country the loser.
Massa ; LOOK at this Fante Full Pee Yarlley !!!! ;who does the idiotic donkey think he is attempting full because NOBODY IN THE NDC can DO FOKOOOOOOO!!!!!about this FRAUD because 'YOU DE WATCH MINE BOTTOM ; I DEY WATCH YOUR BOTTON' ; it was common rumour and everybody in the NDC knew Jon Mahama was a KROOK and was stilling state cash ; elements like Kofi Adams ; Asiedu Mketia and others saw the opportunity and knew Jon Mahama would lose and saw the election as an opportunity they took advantage of and stole the cash and left the grassroots to suffer ; they knew Jon Mahama could not do anything because it was common knowlegde that Stan Dogbe; Ayariga were the deal men and bag carriers for Jon Mahama and handled huge sums of corrupt money for Jon mahama ; it was common rumour that Jon Mahama paid huge sums of money for the Atta Mills murder to be kept quiet; this fante full Pee Yalley sat in India and did not know what was going on in the party ; today he is attempting to throw his wait around calling for jailing people -IMPOOSIBLE ; nobody can jail anybody in the NDC for diverting the cash because the high ups in the NDC were rotten to the core head Jon Mahama ; the question is issues about corrupt monies will come out in court and that will expose the NDC party ; the woyoime case is still pending in court which very soon the cash paid to build the NDC party will be investigated ; how can Pee Yalley call for jail sentences for NDC members when it is unlikely Jon Mahama will be able to account for the monies himself ; besides the idea of Kwesi Botchway committeee is a FRAUD because it will sweep under the carpet a lot of the issues of stilling and diversion of funds ; the final report will not be able to pin point certain characters because these thiffs are still in office and can influence the decision of the party ; the grassroots do not trust these reports .
Shame, shame,shame Sam Pee Yalley. Where did NDC get their monies from? Didn't it come from the state coffers. So if JM was stealing, and the NDC headquarters was stealing, why wouldn't those who were given the cash also pocket them? Obed A kept millions under his bed and his house stole the cash. That was during 'blameless' Prez Rawlings. Ask NDC to return the stolen cash else all of them will end up in jail. You're saying those who stole NDC cash must end up in jail, what about those who stole the tax payers' money. As soon as such persons are hauled to court you'll start screaming 'witch-hunt'. Mind you, they'll end up in jail-true true.
Who cares how NDC big men squandered campaign funds? What we are interested in is who st01e what from the national treasury.Who signed which contract that has brought untold hardships to the people .For instance we want to know more about the Ameri deal. We want to know what happened at the Ghana Gas Company.Millions of dollars have been st0l3n by Mahama and his cohorts We want to know about that. We also want to know where all the V8,s have vanished to. To hell with the wrangling in that evil entity called NDC. They can decapitate each other for all we care.
Apuuuu jail who? Mahama stole our money and gave it to NDC to use for campaign and the guys also chop the money and you want who to jail them? This is the case of tth.iefman th!.ef tthiefman. NDC must tell us the source of the money first.
