Communications Director of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Nana Akomea says the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) has fallen on its own dagger after the arrest of a lady in London for drug trafficking. Nayeli Ametefeh was arrested at the Heathrow Airport in London for allegedly carrying 12.5 kilogrammes of cocaine. The 35-year-old lady who travelled with an Australian passport is also said to be having a diplomatic Ghanaian passport. Based on this backdrop, many including members of the NPP has linked the suspect to the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC) - a position government has vehemently denied. Deputy Communications Minister, Felix Kwakye Ofosu on Asempa FM�s Ekosii Sen programme Monday, condemned such act in no uncertain terms. He indicated that those who planned to link the busted woman to the NDC are �hopelessly incompetent�. On the contrary, Nana Akomea on the same programme maintained that it is the law of Karma which is catching up with the NDC. For a party which hitherto branded the NPP a narcotic party, he believes the ruling party is being paid back in their own coin. The NPP man recalled how the NDC and its rented press while in opposition inundated the erstwhile Kufuor administration with criticism and name calling for not doing enough to fight the canker. He could not fathom why government which claimed to have instituted measures to make Ghana a no go area for drug trafficking could not arrest the lady. Nana Akomea said the NPP feels vindicated for the false allegation which after six years in power, not even a fly in the NPP has been convicted for drug related offenses. �NDC must remember that when you throw a ball to the wall; it bounces back to you�.
