Embittered Deputy Communications Director of the National Democratic Party (NDP), Ernest Owusu Bempah apparently is not ready to let bygones be bygones. The NDP Communicator seems to be well prepared to meet the ruling party officials head on until they desist from attacking the leadership of the NDP. Speaking on Oman FM's "National Agenda", Owusu Bempah, who recently engaged a Deputy Information and Media Relations, Murtala Mohammed, on the airwaves in a bitter war of words, has again come out with a revealing story about the General Secretary of the National Democratic Congress (NDC). It could be recalled that the NDC General Secretary Johnson Asiedu Nketia accused the National Chairman of the NDP, Dr. Josiah Aryeh of stealing two cars from the NDC during his reign as Chief Scribe of the party. He stated emphatically that "as General Secretary for a big party like the NDC, Dr. Aryeh sold his God given conscience for just $3000." Ernest Owusu Bempah has also sought to disclose the dark side of Mr. Johnson Asiedu Nketia, claiming that he has been employing dubious tactics to enrich himself overnight. He revealed that Mr. Asiedu Nketia, until the inception of the NDC in government, was 'destitute' but "today, he owns several houses strewn across the length and breadth of the country including some in overseas. ��I�m saying it, if he so desires; let him take me to court�He has about five houses and also chairs Bui Board." According to him, Asiedu Nketia has virtually never engaged in any personal profitable business outside of government to merit such wealth and thus, in his view, was one of the "thieves" the NDP Chairman claimed President John Mahama had appointed. "What work has he really done to merit all this? What has he done which can result in him owning these numerous petrol stations all over the country?" he wondered.
