“It started in August 2010, when you suggested that I quit the NPP presidential primaries for a strange reason.”

He promised to send articles from Kweku Baako’s Crusading Guide newspaper as evidence of this claim.

The altercation between the two is said to be as a result of a text message the veteran journalist sent Prof Frimpong-Boateng on the report of the Inter-Ministerial Committee on Illegal Mining (IMCIM).

That committee was chaired by Prof Frimpong-Boateng, who had pointed fingers at some elements at the Presidency for hampering the fight against illegal mining in Ghana.

“The Chief of Staff wrote to me to present a report to the President on the work of the IMCIM, which I chaired,” his letter addressed Mr Kweku Baako Jnr.

“Furthermore, I was told to suggest a way forward in the fight against illegal mining. I prepared the report, which i signed on 19th March, 2021 and presented to the Chief of Staff. I am solely responsible for the report and I stand by every statement.

“I presented verifiable facts not innuendos to the Chief if Staff.”
