The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has said it will not be intimidated by the number of invitations issued by the National Intelligence Bureau (NIB) to some of its members.
In an interview on Accra-based Citi FM, Deputy General Secretary, Haruna Mohammed stated that the invitations were shocking.
However, they will not yield to any attempts by the National Democratic Congress(NDC) to silence NPP members.
“We as a party have received this particular news as a shock and we have since been asking ourselves, is there the return of the criminal libel law? Is it that free speech has been stifled or it is just that, we have got into government and we need to intimidate them?
“I want to put it on record that we in the New Patriotic Party would not be intimidated by the government’s clandestine move to silence us not to speak out. We will speak out and we encourage members of our party to speak out,” he stated.
On Saturday, February 22, the NIB invited Bono Regional NPP Chairman, Kwame Baffoe, also known as Abronye DC with former Board Chairman of the Ghana Infrastructure Investment Fund (GIIF), Professor Christopher Ameyaw-Akumfi, detained over alleged financial irregularities.
In addition, a former Deputy Director of the National Service Authority(NSA), Kwame Ohene Djan, was also arrested in connection with the NSA scandal.
Meanwhile, Mr. Amewyaw-Ekumfi has been granted bail while Abronye is also expected to honour the invitation on Wednesday, February 26, 2025.
