The CEO of the National Health Identification Authority, Dr. Bernard Okoe-Boye, has criticized the opposition for its accusations made against the Bank of Ghana.
The National Democratic Congress‘ (NDC) planned protest at the Bank of Ghana’s headquarters, according to the former Ledzokuku Member of Parliament, is unnecessary.
Speaking on Peace FM’s morning program “Kokrokoo,” the speaker questioned the Minority’s choice after not using every available opportunity to grill Mr. Addison in Parliament.
“They’re using the populist approach; if you’re indeed thinking of Ghana use the right procedure,” Okoe-Boye told the Minority.
According to him, “the minority’s action was deliberate; it was to create an impression of serious abuse but after the explanation; had it not been the press release from the Bank of Ghana, NDC was throwing dust into our eyes . . . why the picketing? As for the picketing; mark it anywhere, they can be there for 100 years, it will amount to nothing . . . even those who led the BoG are walking freely. Go and check the things that happened at BoG”.
