Ablakwa emphasized that the Chinese investors in his constituency had no ties to the Kantamanto incident and dismissed claims that the NDC had Chinese financiers, highlighting that Ghana's electoral laws prohibit foreign funding of political parties.

Declaring his intent to take legal action, Ablakwa stated that the "NPP's fake news factory" would not succeed in their attempts to tarnish his reputation, urging them to abandon such "reckless character assassination."
