Akufo-Addo may sack Boakye Agyarko - John Boadu
Acting General Secretary of the ruling New
Patriotic Party (NPP), has disclosed President
Akufo Addo may sack Energy and Petroleum Minister,
Boakye Agyarko if evidence comes out that he
indeed paid bribe to members of the Appointment
Committee of parliament.

According to John Boadu, it is yet premature to
demand Agyarko’s resignation or dismissal in teh
absence of any evidence of bribery against him.

“If there is evidence to prove the allegation
against Mr Agyarko, Nana Addo will not hesitate to
sack him, he is capable of doing that. We should
be very careful,” he counselled.

But in the absence of any such evidence, the
National Organiser has dismissed calls by some
individuals for the Energy Minister to resign or
be fired.

According to him, such suggestions should be
treated wit the contempt it deserves. He argues,
“with the kind of politics we do here and how
people can be untruthful to each other, then the
president will rule without any minister if he
goes by alleged issues”

“Because if any of his ministers is accused of
anything, then he [the president] must suspend
that person. That shouldn’t be the case,” he
added

Retired Ghanaian diplomat, K.B Asante is one of
few people demanding immediate resignation of
Boakye Agyarko after Member of Parliament for
Bawku Central, Mahama Ayariga accused him of
bribing some committee members.

But John Boadu insists, such calls are premature
stressing, “we should be very careful of what we
are asking for.”
