Director of Legal Affairs of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Godwin Edudzi Tameklo has accused President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo of dishonesty in his comments on the arrest of the Democracy Hub protesters.
He described the level of the president's dishonesty in this matter as 'terrible'. "The level of dishonesty is terrible, he ignores local media and grants interviews to international, the reason he does this is that there is no benefit of fact-checking him. "The person who is in court prosecuting these protesters is an appointee of Akufo-Addo, the person who arrested these protesters is the IGP appointed by Akufo-Addo," Edudzi said on the Nig Ossue on TV3 Monday, October 7.
His comments come at a time when President Akufo-Addo said the executive arm of government has no influence in the recent arrest and detention of some Democracy Hub protesters.
President Akufo-Addo believes that the recent arrest and detention of the protesters rather stems from their behaviour during the protest.
