General News of Wednesday, 31 August 2016Source: citifmonline.comI didn’t cause Ghana Consolidated Diamond’s collapse - Baba JamalBaba Jamal, MP, Akwatia ConstituencyThe Member of Parliament for the Akwatia Constituency, Baba Jamal, has refuted claims he contributed to the collapse of the Ghana Consolidated Diamond Ltd (GCD) formally located in Akwatia in the Eastern Region. According to the Deputy Minister, the company was doing well until the District Chief Executive for the area, Yiadom Boakye and the New Patriotic Party (NPP) administration, mismanaged the facility in 2006 leading to its collapse. Baba Jamal made these remarks in an interview with Citi News at a ceremony to introduce his campaign team for the December elections following reports that the NPP in Akwatia had accused him of collapsing the company. “I want to make it clear that it was not only the NDC time that GCD collapsed. GCD collapse in 2006 – six long years after the NDC left power so why do they want to say that I am the one who collapsed GCD,” The MP stated.
