The Ashanti Regional Chairman of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Bernard Antwi Boasiako has called on the Executive Secretary of the National Identification Authority (NIA), Prof Ken Attafuah to apologize to Ghanaians on his recent unguarded vituperations on radio.
According to Chairman Wontumi, Ken Attafuah struggled to speak and that might have led to such an unguarded statement from him.
In a radio interview with Angel FM, the NIA boss, Prof Ken Attafuah said he was focused on his mandate and would not be swayed by his detractors including party supporters.
He insisted that President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has charged him to ensure that no party executives are hired in the process at the National Identification Authority (NIA).
Speaking in the Twi language in the Angel FM interview, Prof Attafuah said President Akufo-Addo’s vision is for him to build a neutral public service and so he [Attafuah] was doing what the law permits and in line with the President’s legacy.
But in a sharp criticism, the Ashanti Regional Governor of the NPP cautioned all Chief Executive Officers to remember that they work for President Akufo-Addo and that they should be vigilant of their responsibilities and utterances not to denigrate the good works of Nana Addo.
Chairman Wontumi spoke in an interview with Oheneba Nana Asiedu on Wontumi Radio/Tv on Wednesday morning.
He reminded them that the maintenance of the NPP in 2024 depends on the Chief Executive Officers who have been appointed to serve the interest of President Akufo-Addo.
Some party members insist Prof Attafuah’s stance has the potential to demoralise the youth in the NPP, many of whom are looking for job opportunities and are of the conviction that after helping the party to attain political power, they ought to be sorted out with job opportunities.
