The Minister of Information, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah has described as 'embarrassingl' and 'disappointing' the Minority’s petition to the United States Ambassador to Ghana, Stephanie S. Sullivan.
The Minority in Parliament has petitioned the United States Ambassador to Ghana, Her Excellency Stephanie S. Sullivan demanding formal investigations by the United States government into the PDS scandal which has rocked the nation.
The petition signed by the Minority Leader, Haruna Iddrisu was delivered at the US Embassy in Accra by the Ranking Member on Parliament’s Committee on Foreign Affairs, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa.
The Minority, therefore, wants to trigger investigations under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of the United States of America especially after “a clearer picture is now emerging that the Akufo-Addo Government stands complicit with top functionaries and cronies neck-deep in the putrescent sleaze.”
However, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah disagrees with them.
"We don't have to downplay our pride, sovereignty; you can collaborate with someone, there is nothing wrong with that but telling them you don't have confidence in a government and so they should take over an investigation, because of politics; it's never done," he said in an interview on Neat FM.

THE EMBARRASSED AND DISAPPOINTED ONES MAY HAVE FORGOTTEN HOW THEIR ILLUSTRIOUS FORBEARS EVEN ASKED AMERICAN AND EUROPEAN COUNTRIES TO DENY US INDEPENDENCE!!
A few months ago, the NDC was up in arms opposing the US government with respect to the their imaginary "military base" set up in Ghana. They subsequently forgot how "e*vil" the US had been (according to NDC), and have since presented every petition to the same US government they branded as a dev*il. I'm sure they will soon petition the US to get them a running mate for JM, or impregnate their concubines for them.
CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHY HARUNA IDRUSU DID NOT INCLUDE HIS DOUBLE SALARY ISSUE IN HIS PETITION TO THE US
I can't believe we have a group political leaders in the country who have such low self esteem that they believe issues in the country should be investigate by foreigners (or another country). Going to IMF about "loan" deal with China and now going to US to investigate PDS. This tells you how much confidence they have in their abilities. I can't believe we had such pple running the country. No wonder the country, especially the economy, was in such a mess during their tenure. Anyone who cares about the welfare of the country should not vote for these ppl (NDC) again until their leadership changes to more competent group of pple
