I dare Kwakye Ofosu to produce a copy of said invitation: Ntim Fordjour

Assin South MP Rev. John Ntim Fordjour has accused the Mahama administration of hiding important information. This information relates to drug trafficking and money laundering investigations.

Fordjour denied claims from government spokesperson Felix Kwakye Ofosu. Ofosu suggested that Fordjour was invited by security agencies but did not comply. Fordjour called these allegations false and labeled the money laundering claims a “lie.” He questioned the government's transparency, asking, “What are they hiding?”

He stated, “No security or intelligence agency has ever invited me.” He challenged Kwakye Ofosu to provide proof of such an invitation. Fordjour remains open to working with Parliament on President Mahama’s directive.

As the Ranking Member on the Parliamentary Committee for Defence and Interior, he revealed his request for a Joint Security briefing was blocked. This briefing would have allowed various agencies to update on ongoing investigations.

Fordjour expressed frustration over the government's handling of suspicious flights. He described their explanations as “incoherent” and “questionable.” He questioned the credibility of these responses.

Additionally, he pointed out that the government has not addressed 12 containers seized by National Security on February 9. These containers reportedly contained gold and foreign currencies.

Fordjour also mentioned ongoing investigations into a cocaine bust worth $500 million. He warned that Ghana could become a hub for cocaine trafficking and money laundering if issues are ignored.

He urged the government to provide clearer answers and ensure full transparency in investigations. Fordjour made these statements during an appearance on Accra-Metro TV's Good Morning Ghana.
