My actions on Wontumi have nothing to do with Kennedy Agyapong - Alex Tetteh clarifies

Alex Tetteh, President and Founder of Citizen Eye Ghana (CITEG), has responded to public reactions. He recently disclosed the location of NPP Ashanti Regional Chairman, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, known as Chairman Wontumi, to national security agencies.

Tetteh submitted a petition for an investigation into allegations against Wontumi. He aims to address the alleged corrupt practices associated with him.

In an interview on Neat FM, Tetteh confirmed he sent petitions to various state institutions. These include EOCO, the Office of the Special Prosecutor, and the Office of the President. He described these issues as matters of public concern.

Tetteh denied any connection between his actions and former MP Kennedy Agyapong's campaign. “I acted as a concerned citizen and leader of CITEG,” he stated. “My actions were not influenced by Hon. Kennedy Agyapong or his team.”

While he supports Agyapong personally, Tetteh clarified that this does not mean he represents him. “He did not know about the petition,” Tetteh said. “The petition was entirely my initiative.”

Amid concerns about political motivations behind the petition, Tetteh emphasized CITEG’s commitment to neutrality. “CITEG is not aligned with any political party,” he stated. “Our mission is for Ghana, focusing on justice and good governance.”

He revealed that national security has already placed Wontumi under surveillance. “Wontumi has been under surveillance for some time now,” he noted. “What I sent was not new information; they already know everything.”

Tetteh expressed confidence in due process regarding the investigation. He dismissed claims that it is a political witch hunt. “If there’s no evidence against Wontumi, he will be cleared,” he said.

He stressed that civic responsibility should not be seen as political sabotage. “We need space for citizens to act without fear,” Tetteh added.

“Let us not confuse civic duty with political strategy,” he urged. He criticized those who vilify Agyapong while celebrating when others face investigations.

Tetteh affirmed that Agyapong's campaign continues strongly and unity must serve a greater cause. "We must ensure accountability when we have power," he said.

He called for responsible journalism amid accusations linking his actions to Agyapong's campaign. "This is far from the truth," Tetteh insisted.

He urged the NPP to view this investigation as a national issue rather than a political one if they want responsible governance and accountability.
