Onua TV morning show host, Captain Smart has alleged that the former deputy finance minister, John Kumah was conscious of the fact that he had been subjected to poisoning through food.

Captain Smart claimed that John Kumah was intentionally poisoned because of his political ambitions, stating that he represented a threat to certain party leaders.“John Kumah and some top officials who met the agenda of the meeting discussed how fast John Kumah was rising to a level such that no one could stop him. Ask Chairman Wontumi if he didn’t eat the same poisoned food as John Kumah? When those with John Kumah saw that Wontumi was reacting to the poisoned food and John Kumah wasn’t they thought John Kumah was okay”.

I can tell you the date and time John Kumah went to India to seek medical treatment.John Kumah really suffered. This issue of poisoning when did it start in NPP? Hon Appiah-Kubi was poisoned, it took a doctor at Akwei to save Appiah-Kubi. They wanted to poison him because he is allergic to bribe taking,”he added.
