NPP responds to missing state files

Deputy Minister of Information, Hon. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has claimed the NDC government’s actions have been constrained by the unavailability of official documents.
Mr Ablakwa blamed officials of the former government for taking away these documents.

But the communications director of the NPP, Nana Akomea says the assertion by Okudzeto Ablakwa is another twist in the great cover up that the government is attempting over the Woyome scandal.

He explains that officials at the Ministries have archived at their office and that Ministers cannot remove archived documents.

He recalled that during the transition team’s work in first quarter 2009, the team met with political office holders and Chief Directors and documents made available for the team’s work.

Nana Akomea therefore stated that it is strange that more than 3 years later, the nation is being told about some missing documents hampering governments work



Meanwhile, the NPP Member of Parliament for Subin constituency, Mr Isaac Osei says it is very strange that NDC is giving excuse of missing stated files.

But the NDC Member of Parliament (MP) for Shama, Mr. Gabriel Kodwo Essilfie says the missing filesis a clear indication that the former government has hidden some gargantuan crimes that they feared that it will be discovered.

GHANAIANS RETURNS BACK TO LIBYA

Some Ghanaian returnees from Libya are said to be on their way currently back to the once-troubled Libya.
So far about 15 Ghanaian returnees have arrived in the capital Tripoli and have secured jobs and accommodation.
One of Ghanaian returnees Martin Adjei, who is on his way to Libya confirmed that 7 people had left the country today through the desert.
He says though some of his colleagues have gone missing and confirmed dead that will not stop them on their quest for greener pastures in Libya.
Martin Adjei told Adom news they don’t care about the risk involved in returning.

Last year large numbers of Ghanaian migrants were repatriated after militants fought and overthrew the Libyan Leader Gaddafi but some of these Ghanaians say they are returning because life is so unbearable in Ghana after their return.
The hard economic conditions in the country had over the past few months had prompted us to return to Libya where the economic situation is far better, Adjei added.

After Bangladeshis, Ghanaians represented the second largest group of stranded migrants who were evacuated with Malians and Sudanese following suit.
