Dr. Mathew Opoku Prempeh, popularly known as NAPO, and his spokesperson, Fiifi Boafo, have strongly refuted allegations that he is in possession of state vehicles. The controversy arose from a viral video showing state security forces allegedly raiding a property linked to NAPO and discovering vehicles claimed to be state assets.
In an interview with MyNewsGh, Boafo dismissed the accusations as “entirely baseless”. He clarified that Dr. Prempeh resides in Trasacco and has never owned any property in Osu, as suggested by the video. Boafo also emphasized that during his tenure as Minister of Energy, Dr. Prempeh was never assigned a Land Cruiser or any cross-country vehicle. Instead, he relied on his personal vehicles for official duties.
Furthermore, Boafo stated that the only vehicle provided to Dr. Prempeh during his ministerial tenure was a saloon car, which he promptly returned after his term ended. The spokesperson’s comments come amidst heated debates about the integrity of public officials and the management of state resources.
The controversy has sparked discussions on social media, with many calling for transparency and accountability from public officials. Despite the allegations, NAPO’s camp remains adamant that the accusations are unfounded and without merit.
