The Afadjato South District Chief Executive, Angela Alorwu-tey, has been accused of shielding a common thief from the grips of police simply because the latter is a propaganda secretary or a communications officer of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the constituency. Lawrence Nyator, the man in question and the propaganda secretary of the NDC is the store keeper of the Afadjato South District Education office and also vying for the Assemblyman of the constituency. In an interview on Citi FM in Accra to reveal the story, the Assemblyman of Ve-Deme electoral area and Vice Chairman Social Services Sub-Committee of Afadjato District Assembly, Mr. Delali Agbodza said, he got wind of the fact that Mr. Nyator was selling government exercise books from the Assembly�s stock. Mr. Agbodza said, he followed up to Liati Agbonyra upon tip off where the books were being sold to primary and Junior High School students (JHS). He said, two stores in the community were identified as sales point for the stolen books and both store keepers mentioned Lawrence Nyator as the supplier of the books. Again, Mr. Agbodza said, he proceeded to the Agbonyra catholic primary and retrieved 26 exercise books and at the JHS 1&2 he retrieved 13. �In another village, I retrieved 46 exercise books and brought the matter to the police but as I speak Mr. Nyator is walking a free man without arrest and even contesting for the assemblyman position with such character�, he said. According to Mr. Agbodza, his investigation revealed that the DCE Angela Alowutey has been pulling the strings to keep her party�s communications officer from the grips of the law. �One Police officer confided in me that it�s the DCE who told them that the case should not be followed because the man is the propaganda secretary of the NDC� but it begs the question of what kind of man is the seeking the public office as an assemblyman?�, he stated.
