The Volta Regional branch of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) has slammed the New Patriotic Party (NPP) Minority for their relentless opposition to Dr. Johnson Pandit Asiamah’s appointment as Governor of the Bank of Ghana (BoG). Apexnewsgh reports
The NDC describes the NPP’s actions as a “desperate political witch-hunt” that has ultimately “collapsed in disgrace.”
According to the NDC, the NPP pursued unfounded allegations against Dr. Asiamah for seven years, accusing him of wrongdoing related to the BoG’s decision to provide liquidity support to certain banks. Despite the NPP government’s prolonged legal ordeal against him, Dr. Asiamah was never found guilty of any violations of the Bank of Ghana Act or causing financial loss to the state.
The NDC asserts that the charges against Dr. Asiamah were malicious and aimed at silencing him, particularly because he defended legitimate financial decisions made under the previous NDC government. His recent exoneration from all allegations is seen as a well-deserved vindication.
The party also criticizes the NPP’s historical treatment of individuals from the Volta Region, stating that the era of using Voltarians as scapegoats for political tactics is over. The NDC expresses solidarity with Dr. Asiamah and all individuals from the region, affirming that they will not tolerate further injustices against their people.
In response to concerns about potential victimization within the BoG, the NDC assures individuals that the party operates based on moral values and principles, eschewing unnecessary political persecution.
The NDC concludes by urging Dr. Asiamah to remain focused and undistracted by the opposition’s criticisms. With his extensive experience in monetary policy formulation, financial stability regulation, and economic research, the NDC expresses confidence that Dr. Asiamah will excel in his new role, contributing to the restoration of financial stability in Ghana.
