Do You Realize How Silent The NPP Has Become After Nana Addo's 'Great Cape' Hypocrisy?

A Deputy Minister for Information, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, is of the firm belief that there is no verve left in the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to go about shouting on rooftops that the payment of judgment debts is an act of �corruption� especially after the �exceedingly revealing� bombshell he dropped last Monday. According to him, because he knew the revelation was going to do a lot of damage to Nana Addo�s reputation, he was compelled to state that the event was going to be �exceedingly revealing�. At a news conference in Accra last Monday, a team of government officials led by Mr Ablakwa pontificated that the NPP flagbearer�s assertion that his administration will never condone judgement debts is false. �In the spirit of transparency and full disclosure�, he presented two letters authored by Nana Akufo-Addo, to back his claim and slammed him for being insincere and a hypocrite. According to him, one of the first actions taken by the NPP leader when he assumed office as Attorney-General in 2011 was to justify the claims of a Swiss Company Great Cape for an outstanding settlement of over a million dollars. The company had its contract to supply clinker to the government of Ghana in 1978 breached and has been asking for settlement. In 1997, the then NDC government paid an amount of $927,000 in what was expected to be the final payment of the debt owed the company which had Dr Nat Tanoh as a local representative. Brandishing the letters dated April 18, 2001 and October 3, 2011, which Nana Akufo-Addo authored, Mr Ablakwa said Nana Addo agreed to the payment of more than $1.1 million to the Swiss company, without further negotiations or court processes. The deputy minister added that while the NPP flagbearer and his acolytes had stated that judgement debts connoted corruption, he had been busily advocating, behind the scenes, that Great Cape Company of Switzerland be paid the said amount in what he (Akufo Addo) referred to as �Great Cape�s legitimate claims.�
