Audio Attachment: Listen to Fred Agbenyo on Peace FM's 'kokrokoo' |
Deputy Communications Director of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) Fred Agbenyo says the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) is on a mission to destroy some persons at the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT).
Some SSNIT personnel are under investigation by the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) over their involvement in the $72 million SSNIT software scandal.
About 15 witnesses have been subpoenaed by EOCO as part of the ongoing investigations into the award of the 72 million dollar contract.
Addressing the issue on Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo', Fred Agbenyo smelled political play regarding the scandal.
According to him, the Akufo-Addo government is behind the leak of information regarding the SSNIT scandal in the media and the ruling party's aim is to "muddy the entire environment, to create confusion for everyone" so that by the time the investigations are over "people would have already demonized, criminalized and hanged some people.”
Fred Agbenyo noted that the SSNIT scandal report is a deliberate attempt by the government "to get their allies in the media, then they will highlight and sustain it for everybody to join in . . . These things are done consciously. Let’s get media houses to carry it every day so as to destroy people. It’s consciously done. That is all we’re doing. I don’t think the effort is that we want to get to the bottom of it and fight the issue. That’s not what we’re doing. It’s the politics as usual."
He wondered how the issue was exposed to the media when an investigative body had already taken the issue up and probing to ascertain the truth.
To him, the NPP desires to just dent the reputation of the SSNIT officials.
The NPP, he stressed, is neither “seeking SSNIT welfare” nor "seeking the tax payer’s money. It’s politics that we’re doing at this point. We’re just doing partisan politics at this point just to criminalize and demonize people. That is what we’re doing now and people are behind it, stoking the fire . . . ”

Look at this? all these guys were supervising Ghana. Your people have stole Ghanaian workers' money and you Fred is telling is enkwasiasem.
I perfectly agree with you. When we are discussing serious issues, I think peacefm for once should invite intelligent and knowledgeable people, not this M.O.R.O.N.S. who will politicize every serious issue. I think Kwame Sefa Kayi should be up and doing.
Why NDC always defend bad deeds? I think this so called Agbenyo should bow down his head in shame for defending corruption as a communicator of a big party like NDC.
Peacefm invite sensible persons to your shows and your concert.
IS IT ANY WONDER? BIRDS WITH THE SAME FEATHERS, IT IS SAID, FLOCK TOGETHER IF NOT A HIGH NDC EXECUTIVE, WHO WILL COME AND MAKE SUCH ***barred word*** AND UNPATRIOTIC STATEMENT? CREATE, LOOT AND SHARE NATION WRECKERS.
Ok.w.asia, are you a contributor at all? Because Afaglo is your countryman you want him go free? There is no s.en.sible person in NDC apart from Papa J.
This Agbenyo man must be a big ***barred word*** seeing his colleague ***barred word*** stealing the taxpayers money and he wants them to be left scot free. ***barred word***.
Just asking do this guy's from NDC think about Ghanaians at all everything to them is Politics. What is wrong with them?
I wonder ahy Peace fm keeps inviting this guy to kokrokoo. A-plus was right, its like this guy is allergic to speaking the truth
Oh Fred, when will you stop digging a hole for the NDC? You always defend wrong doers in your party. You did same for Woyome and it brought you shame. When will you learn? Better stay out of this.
