“There is no doubt Yaw Buaben is a good communicator but is quite unfortunate he finds himself in a party of lies which makes truth-speaking a difficult task for him,” he noted.

“Yaw Buaben as a communication director was appointed and can be changed at any time but I am a communications officer who had to go round all the 275 constituencies to campaign and to be voted for so our positions are not the same.
“More so, he doesn’t even have the exposure and the understanding of the issues of the grassroots as I have so we are two different people,” he said.
Mr Gyemfi also took a swipe at the NPP by suggesting that “even best communicators of our country will fail in NPP because the governance is not good for truth-telling so they always fumble,” he said.
