A political analyst has slammed the New Patriotic Party (NPP) for what he describes as an unnecessary politicization of a matter involving Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi, who is reportedly wanted by state authorities.
In a strongly-worded commentary, the analyst questioned the rationale behind the ruling party turning the issue into a partisan defense instead of allowing due process to take its course. "How can it be the case that an individual is wanted by state authorities for an alleged crime, and it has become an NPP problem?" he asked. "Is it the case that NPP was complicit in the things they are alleging against the gentleman, Mr.
Wontumi or what?" He criticized what he described as the NPP's tendency to drag Ghana's democratic image into disrepute, especially in the eyes of the international community. "I think that our democracy has come very far, and in civilized societies things of this nature don't happen.
In fact, if you listen to international media and the way the NPP is dragging the image of Ghana, it's so saddening," he added.
