Deputy Director of Elections and IT for the governing National Democratic Congress (NDC), Rashid Tanko-Computer, has accused the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) of deliberately pursuing policies that destroyed Ghana's forest reserves during their eight years in office.

Speaking on the maiden edition of Prime Insight on Joy Prime on Saturday, August 16, Mr Tanko recalled the party's controversial justification for allowing mining in protected areas, saying it was proof of misplaced priorities.

These people did a sustained strategy of destroying the forest cover.

You remember the word they used 'party hia sika.' And Ghanaians were quiet about it.
