Napo says he was in Ghana for his birthday

Napo says he was in Ghana for his birthday

Kofi Abrefa Afena, Spokesperson for Energy  Minister Dr Mathew Opoku Prempeh  (Napo) has said that his attention has been drawn to a clearly, malicious Newspaper Publication in today’s edition of the Daily Guide Newspaper with the caption “Napo Celebrates Birthday in Monaco”.

He said in a statement that “Among other unintelligent postulations, the publication alleges that the Energy Minister and Member of Parliament for Manhyia South flew a certain phantomized private Jet to celebrate his birthday.

:The publication which has unfortunately been given front-page prominence, in furtherance of a calculated scheme, is clearly a sordid attempt at besmirching the character of the Minister and to paint him as ostentatious in the eyes of right-thinking Ghanaians.

I wish to respond to this total fabrication as follows: 1.

Matthew Opoku Prempeh, he was in Ghana and attended a meeting of the Economic Management Team (EMT)

“2.

Prempeh also attended a Board meeting of the governing Board of the (GNPC)

“3.

Prempeh after seeking the necessary approval from the Chief of Staff at the Office of the President, travelled abroad on KLM to Athens for a brief holiday.

Prempeh very well will corroborate the fact that, he does not attach hype and razzmatazz to his birthdays, except, on those days, as an avid Christian, to be alone in sobriety and to thank the almighty God for his grace and mercies.

Matthew Opoku Prempeh, manifest in his fidelity to propriety and avowed principle, to uphold the supreme interest of the Republic of Ghana, who seek to court hatred and disaffection for him, has failed woefully.

It is only sad that the Daily Guide will resort to this crude route of journalism.It is important to state that, the Energy Minister is fully aware of the maneuverings of his detractors, especially in the coming days, but remains focused in actualizing the vision of His Excellency the President for the energy sector.The general public is kindly asked to completely disregard this publication.”
