The Member of Parliament for Upper Denkyira West, Benjamin Kofi Ayeh, has expressed surprise at the cold feet attitude adopted by the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) in dealing with its supposed $20 million office facility.
He wondered why the NDC General Secretary who is noted for vehemently defending allegations about the party has this time around decided not to clarify issues surrounding the much talked about edifice.
A Pressure group Alliance for Accountable Governance (AFAG) has in the past fortnight taken the NDC party to task alleging that the party is putting up a $20 dollar office in Adabraka, an issue that has resulted in the party executives giving conflicting responses.
The group at a press briefing on Tuesday referred to the party’s newsletter in which it was published that the NDC was putting up an office at Adabraka which is in an advanced stage and will be ready for occupation by the middle of next year.
Speaking on Adom FM’s Dea Meehuyi, the Hon. MP urged the party to send journalist to the construction site where the party’s supposed office is being constructed for verification to put the matter to rest.
“ I want the party to apply the same alacrity with which President Mills sent journalist to witness the construction works on going in his house, when he was accused of building a mansion at his Regimanuel Estates, you see how the press were hurriedly taken to the President’s how? I’m sure when the journalist visit the place the truth will certainly emerge’’ he said.
He urged the NDC General Secretary, Asiedu Nketia to come out from his hiding and speak to the issue and also clear the doubts in the minds of the public.
