Joseph Boakye Danquah (JB Danquah) was not only a national hero to some people in Ghana, he has also been controversially linked to the job of a spy before.

This contentious subject was actually the focus of a heated time on the floor of the current 9th Parliament when the members of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) decided to eulogise the Ghanaian politician and former statesman.

From the usual public statements on the man, it led to counter commentaries from the National Democratic Congress (NDC) side, particularly with regards his supposed linkages to the CIA in the United States of America.

In the aftermath of the parliamentary debates on the matter, which led to some unidentified voice calling the Member of Parliament of Klottey Korle, Zanetor Agyeman-Rawlings, the 'daughter of a murderer.' Following this rather worrying period in Parliament, a leading member of the NPP, Gabby Asare Otchere-Darko, made a public post, defending JB Danquah and questioning where people got the impression that he was at a time a CIA spy.
