Member of Parliament (MP) for Ningo-Prampram, Sam Nartey George is calling for a defamation suit against his colleague, Dr. Kingsley Nyarko, the MP for Kwadaso.

He wants former Deputy Information Minister, Felix Kwakye Ofosu to take legal actions against Dr Nyarko for disseminating rumours that the former government official acquired huge sums of money through illegal channels.

During a discussion centering on the amount of money allegedly stolen from the house of former Sanitation Minister on Good Morning Ghana on Metro TV, the Kwadaso MP claimed that Mr Felix Kwakye Ofosu bought 2 houses at the cost of $3 million with illegal funds.

He cited the late Jerry John Rawlings as the source of the information.

"Our own good friend, Felix Kwakye-Ofosu, Rawlings said he was able to buy 2 houses, one costing $1.5m. I am quoting a source that Rawlings said that. I have the video. Felix got those monies illegally," he said.

Displeased by the comment, Mr Sam George asked Dr Nyarko to provide evidence to his claim. With the absence of evidence, he suggested that Felix Kwakye-Ofosu takes legal action against the Kwadaso MP.

Do you have any proof? I think Felix should begin to sue people like you. You should stop peddling falsehood. Do you know where Felix lives?

Did you hear Rawlings say that? Felix did not pay such monies. Stop that," Mr George noted.

With regards to the Cecilia Dapaah looted cash case, Dr Nyarko noted that it is unwise for politicians in the opposition NDC to create the idea that politicians with money acquired them illegally. According to him, it may haunt them in the future.

"The political class, we have to be mindful. We don't have to create the impression that any politician who has some form of money, that money was gotten through political maneuvering," he advocated.

In response, the Ningo-Prampram MP said: "The politicians in your party who are giving politicians a bad name."

Rawlings VS Kwakye Ofosu

The late J.J. Rawlings, 2018’s June 4th celebration, alleged that a member of the erstwhile Mahama administration, bought two mansions worth 3 million US Dollars.

Without mentioning Kwakye Ofosu's name, the former president said the minister was a ‘small little character' who served as a deputy minister.

Many political watchers suspected it was the former deputy communications minister the ex-president was referring to.

Felix Kwakye Ofosu, descended heavily on former President Jerry John Rawlings.“...You cannot say you are an elderly person and yet when you are informed that someone has done something wrong, you won’t even investigate the matter thoroughly before commenting openly, accusing the person wrongly just like that.

“Because he is an elderly person whose words are taken as the gospel truth, that is the reason why he should have been mindful of his utterances in order not to malign someone on the basis of allegation without proof and that is why Ghanaians ought to be disappointed,” he stated.

Cecilia Dapaah

Former Minister for Sanitation and Water Resources, Cecilia Abena Dapaah, and her husband, Daniel Osei Kuffour, are reported to have been robbed by two of their house helps in their home in Abelemkpe, Accra.

The two, 18-year-old Patience Botwe and 30-year-old Sarah Agyei are said to have undertaken their operation between July and October 2022.

At an Accra Circuit Court, Patience and Sarah are charged with one count of conspiracy to commit a crime and five counts of stealing, which include amounts of US$1 million, €300,000, and millions of Ghana Cedis.

Clothes valued at GH¢95,000, handbags, perfumes, and jewelry worth US$95,000 were reportedly stolen as well.
