Addressing the media at a briefing in Accra yesterday, the Director of Communications of the party, Mr Kakra Essamuah said the NDC would embark on the activities to protest the government’s “needless show of excessive power” which is targeted at its officers. Mr Essamuah said the NDC had credible intelligence that the arrest of Mr Gyamfi was part of a larger scheme of intimidation and harassment calculated at breaking the front of the party and force its members to cow into silence in the run up to the 2020 election. He said the arrest of Mr Gyamfi was unlawful because the charges against him were not new and that the matter was already in court pending trial. He said the NDC was reminding the police that they were not “appendages” of the government and must ,therefore, not act as such.
