KEY POINTS
- Ntim Fordjour refutes Kwakye Ofosu’s invitation claims.
- Lawmaker accuses government of blocking joint security briefing.
- Calls for transparency in high-profile security investigations.
John Ntim Fordjour, the Ranking Member on Parliament’s Defence and Interior Committee, has strongly refuted allegations made by the Minister for Government Communications, Felix Kwakye Ofosu. In a post on X, Fordjour dismissed claims that he had been invited by security agencies but failed to honor the invitation. Fordjour vehemently challenged Kwakye Ofosu to provide evidence of any such invitation, emphasizing that no security or intelligence agency had ever contacted him for assistance.
Fordjour expressed his willingness to collaborate with Parliament on implementing a directive from former President John Mahama, but only if the directive was genuine. The lawmaker’s comments came in direct response to accusations by Kwakye Ofosu, who had claimed that Fordjour had been invited to provide information to security agencies.
Ntim Fordjour accuses the government of blocking security briefing
According to Fordjour, his efforts to facilitate a joint security briefing that would allow security and intelligence agencies to update Parliament on ongoing investigations were thwarted by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) parliamentary caucus and the government, MyJoyOnline reported. The lawmaker accused the NDC of shielding security agencies from accountability, raising questions about what the government might be hiding.
His frustration grew as he criticized the lack of transparency regarding key security issues, including the status of 12 containers filled with gold and cash seized by National Security on February 9. Fordjour also pointed to the absence of updates on the progress of investigations into high-profile cocaine busts, including seizures valued at $350 million and $150 million. These cases, he argued, were crucial to ensuring that Ghana did not become a hub for cocaine trafficking and money laundering.
Fordjour demands transparency and accountability from government
Ntim Fordjour did not hold back in his criticism of the government’s response, labeling it disingenuous and an attempt to evade accountability. He reiterated his commitment to using every available parliamentary tool to demand transparency and protect the integrity of the country.
“I’m still waiting on them to collaborate with me in Parliament to undertake President Mahama’s directive, if the directive was not mere rhetoric,” Fordjour concluded.
