Editor-In-Chief of the New Crusading Guide, Malik Kweku Baako says he �smells kindergarten enthusiasm" driving government communication and NDC party propaganda following the gusto remarks made by leading members of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) regarding the arrest of Sheriff Asem Darkey in the infamous MV Benjamin Missing Cocaine saga. To him, it amounts to infantile disorder and is very pathetic how the government�s communication team has turned the arrest of a prime suspect by the security agencies, a totally nationalistic issue, into a propaganda piece. A key suspect in the mysterious disappearance of the 77 parcels of cocaine aboard the vessel MV Benjamin case, Asem Darkey, popularly known as the �Limping Man� was recently busted after having arrived in the country. Following his arrest, government's communication and some NDC propagandists disclosed the suspect has dropped some sensitive information that could lead to the arrest of certain key figures in Ghana especially in the opposition NPP and warned against any attempt to exit the country. Contributing to discussions on Peace FM�s Kokrokoo Morning Show, the newspaper editor lauded the arrest of Asem Darkey who he described as a �fugitive from justice�, an �escapee� and a �credible candidate for prosecution�. Whiles hoping that his arrest will bring to closure the loose ends in MV Benjamin Missing Cocaine saga, he was critical of how the government's communication team have reacted to "limping man's" arrest. �I smell kindergarten enthusiasm in the Asem Darkey case all over the place driving government communication and party propaganda and it is pathetic. It amounts to an infantile disorder and it is incredible. Security suspect have apprehended a suspect and I will say that is good for Ghana because he is the prime suspect even in the Georgina Wood report�an importer and owner alongside three others�so if such a person has been arrested we need to clap. He was an escapee, fugitive from justice and if has been arrested that is good�records show he was a credible candidate for prosecution but for government communication to come out boasting about the disclosures he has made, is uncalled for,� he said.
