The New Patriotic Party (NPP) chairman for the New Juaben North Constituency in the Eastern Region, Kwadwo Boateng-Agyemang, has described a press conference by the Minority in Parliament on the murdered investigative journalist, Ahmed Hussien-Suale, as a waste of time and opportunity.
Speaking to Captain Smart on Adom FM’s morning show, Dwaso Nsem Tuesday, Mr Kwadwo Boateng-Agyemang, said such commentaries would only drive away the real criminals behind the murder.

“The issue at hand right now is a sensitive one and should not be taken for granted because our lives are precious but the minority is rushing the issue. Their comments are only driving the real criminals of Ahmed away and they would be left off the hook, especially when the matter dies,” he said.
Hussein-Suale was on Wednesday, January 16, 2019, shot twice in the chest and once in the neck by some unidentified assailants.
The family of the investigative journalist, on Monday, January 21, 2019, held a press conference and urged the general public to assist the police to catch the killers.
