Politics of Saturday, 1 February 2020Source: dailyguidenetwork.comPresidency breaks silence on 'NDC Boy'Sammy Gyamfi and Nana Asante BediatuoThe presidency has finally broken its silence on the arrest of the National Communications Director of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi, debunking reports that the arrest is politically motivated. According to the Presidency, the NDC member had clearly committed a serious offence, which has the tendency of undermining the integrity of the highest office of the land, for which reason his arrest should not be politicized. “The attention of the Secretary to the President has been drawn to various commentaries on social media that suggest that the complaint lodged against Sammy Gyamfi, the National Communications Officer of the NDC, with the Criminal Investigations (CID), is borne out of revenge and/or malice or is politically motivated. He said a complaint was lodged against Sammy Gyamfi with the CID on November 28, 2019 following the publication and dissemination of a forged memo which had been attributed to the President’s secretary seeking to direct the Chief of Staff to convene a Cabinet meeting. A document purportedly from the Secretariat of the President, allegedly signed by the secretary to the President, has been forged and published widely, and no one should accept that as being normal,” he said.
