Yes, NPP Owe Osei Ameyaw –Hackman
Attempts by a cross section of the New Patriotic
Party (NPP) faithful to get one of their flag
bearer hopefuls, Hon. Kofi Osei-Ameyaw
disqualified from contesting the party’s
upcoming primary for non-compliance of his filing
fee has hit a snag.

The party, after inquiring into the claims made by
MP for Asuogyaman, has cleared him of any wrong
doing and in the process, accepted that it owes
the legislator an amount GH¢131,810, being monies
he advanced to the elephant family for preparatory
works ahead of the Tamale Conference.

The astute businessman cum politician, when filing
his nomination forms attached a letter authorizing
the party to deduct part of the money he loaned to
the Danquah-Busia-Dombo family to offset the
GH¢75,000 the party was demanding as filing
fees.

But his critics, especially the failed
Parliamentary candidate for Weija Constituency,
Kofi 123, jumped to the fray, insisting that the
Asuogyam legislator, who is also a lawyer by
profession, be disqualified from the contest,
since he failed to accompany his filing form with
the required fee of GH¢75,000.

The party’s General Secretary, Kwabena Agyapong,
bemused by the actions of his fellow
‘kukrudites’, called him to order and in the
process, wrote to the Annual Delegates Conference
Fund Raising Committee, chaired by Hon. Hackman
Owusu Agyemang, for redress.

Hon. Agyemang, in a reply letter titled: “Monies
advanced by Hon. Kofi Osei-Ameyaw, MP” and dated
July 23, 2014, a copy of which had been sighted by
The Chronicle, acknowledged GH¢131,810 as money
advanced by the MP to the committee for the Tamale
Conference.

The letter, which was jointly signed by Chairman
and the Treasurer of the Committee, Hon. Patricia
Appiagyei, in part read: “We write to confirm
that the total of the various sums advanced to the
Fund Raising Committee by Hon. Kofi Osei-Ameyaw,
amounted to One Hundred and Thirty One Thousand
Eight Hundred and Ten Ghana Cedis
(GH¢131,810)”.

With this, the party is deemed to have accepted
the filing fee of the Asuogyamang legislator, who
is scheduled to appear before the party’s
vetting committee this Friday, July 25, 2014, for
questioning. The balance of GH¢56,810 – The
Chronicle learnt, would be paid in installment as
the party prepares to write officially to Hon.
Osei-Ameyaw to crave his indulgence to accept
their proposal.

Hon. Osei-Ameyaw, when contacted by The Chronicle,
declined to comment on the issue, except to say
that “I give thanks to God in everything He has
done for me”.
