The Bono Regional Chairman of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwame Baffoe, popularly known as Abronye DC has refuted claims that he levelled bribery allegations against the Adhoc Ministerial Committee on Illegal Mining.
A press statement from National Security ministry had dismissed allegations purportedly made by Kwame Baffoe that the leadership of Organised Labour demanded money to call off a planned strike.
The statement from the Committee’s Chairman and Minister for National Security, Albert Kan-Dapaah, said the claims by Abronye are “baseless and unfounded.”
The committee urged the public to disregard the accusations, stressing that no financial demands were made during its engagement with Organised Labour.
“No such demand has been made, and no such payment has been made either,” the statement clarified.
Abronye DC has since reacted explaining that he never claimed on Wontumi TV that the respected committee bribed the leadership of the Organised labour into rescinding their decision to demonstrate against galamsey in the country.
He said, he rather alleged that it was one person and not the leadership of the Organised labour who demanded five million from some members of the NPP in order to curtail Organised labour’s demonstration against the government.
