The peremptory Member of Parliament for Asante Akim Central, Kwame Anyimadu- Antwi has explosively refuted claims that he lodged a complaint with the office of the Special Prosecutor( OSP) against Kofi Ofosu Nkansah, the CEO of the National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme( NEIP). Kojo Ofosu Nkansah, a political contender in the forthcoming primaries, is facing allegations of channelizing finances to delegates.
The contestation surrounds Nkansah’s recent arrest, reportedly urged by a tip- off to the OSP. Although latterly released, the NPP Asante Akim Central constituency clerk, Felix Amakye, asserted on Citi FM that Anyimadu- Antwi played a part in Nkansah’s apprehension.
In response, Anyimadu- Antwi categorically denied any involvement stating he was ignorant of Nkansah’s arrest.
During an interview on Citi FM, he indicted Amakye of bias and propagating false information, citing former Facebook allegations where the clerk indicted another seeker of fiscal persuading to delegates.
“ I have no knowledge of what the secretary is alleging”. affirmed Anyimadu-Antwi.
He stated that,” The primaries are still weeks away,and this shouldn’t become a cut-throat competition. Mr. Amakye seems to be favoring a particular candidate, and his passionate pronouncements are creating unnecessary tension among delegates”.
While addressing his constituents he refuted claims of distributing GH300 individually to delegates, emphasizing that such gifts are typically delegated to party officials for disbursement.
Nkansah, previously challenging Anyimadu-Antwi for the seat in 2020, is seeking a rematch in the January 27 primary.
