Aljazeera Documentary: Asafo- Adjei points accusing fingers at NDC, Says they are brains behind the documentary
“Clearly, you see the hand of the NDC in this matter, it was just like the Number 12 documentary which someone mentioned the name of the President.”
Deputy Director of External Affairs of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) Nana Kwame Asafo-Adjei has accused the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) of having hands in the Al Jazeera’s undercover investigation on the Canadian Gold smuggler and money launderer Alistair Mathias.
Asafo-Adjei said he was worried about the impression some of these matters create about Ghana on the international scene.
In the final episode of Al Jazeera’s undercover investigation into Mathias’ gold smuggling and money-laundering activities across Africa, Mathias boastfully claimed to have relationships with various presidents on the continent including President Akufo-Addo.
He described Ghana’s President as a good friend and alleged that the President was his lawyer.
Speaking on the Big Issue on TV3 Tuesday April 18 Asafo-Adjei said “Clearly, you see the hand of the NDC in this matter, it was just like the Number 12 documentary which someone mentioned the name of the President.”
He further called for a full scale investigation into this matter.
“There should be a full scale investigation into this matter. Under NDC the country was milked by Mathias and that is my worry.”
But Edem Agbana who is a member of the NDC Communications team rejected the claim that NDC had a hand in this matter.
He said on the same show that “It is quite surprising that my brother is bringing the NDC in this. I am wondering why the NDC will be brought in this.”
