National Chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketiah, has stated that he now carries his own water to drink wherever he goes.

His comment comes on the back of poisoning claims that surfaced after the sad demise of Deputy Finance Minister Dr John Kumah.

Asiedu Nketia says he has become more careful with the food and water he eats and drinks when he is outside his home.

During an interview on Asempa FM, the NDC chairman declined the water they offered and instead chose to drink his own water.

"That's why I have my own water now. Normally, I'd drink the water offered, but today I brought my own. Everyone's carrying their own bottle now... [laughs]. I saw a video of Nana B turning down the water offered to him [laughter]," Asiedu Nketia indicated with laughter. On March 7, the death of Deputy Finance Minister Dr John Kumah was announced after a short illness.

Onua TV presenter Captain Smart, made claims that his death was as a result of food poisoning.

However, his wife came out to refute the poisoning claims indicating that a condition called Myeloma was rather the cause of his husband's death.
