Robert Kutin is Central Regional Chairman for the NPP

Another NPP Chairman accused of of receiving 100k bribe
These are certainly not best of times for the
ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) over cash for
Metropolitan, Municipal and District Chief
Executives (MMDCEs) jobs.

Fresh allegations continue to emerge day after day
on how the top echelon of the party in the various
regions have used their positions to launder
billions of cedis from persons who showed interest
in MMDCE appointments.

Just when the public is breathing on the president
to sanction Daniel Bugri Naabu, the Northern
Regional Chairman of NPP and Ms Otiko Afisa Djaba,
Minister Gender Children and Social Protection,
for trading bribery charges against each other,
the Deputy Central Regional Organizer of NPP,
Mathew Botchwey affectionately known as
‘California’ has blown the lid on how his
Chairman Robert Kutin collected money from
outsiders to run cash-for-job rackets in their
region to the detriment of deserving hardworking
members of the party.

Mynewsgh.com has gathered from California that one
Abdallah, indentified as a son of ‘Mercy
Cream’ has allegedly paid the sum of Hundred
Thousand Cedis (GH¢100.000.00) to Robert Kutin to
influence his chances of securing a DCE slot but
all to no avail.

Botchwey claimed the ‘modus operandi’ of his
Chairman (Kutin) and trend is assuming a new
dimension in the region where money has become the
prerequisite requirement of one becoming a
district Chief Executive. He said, Kutin since
assuming office in 2013 become autocratic abhors
dissenting views.

He attributed the rejection of both Assin South
and Abura -Asebu Kwamankese District Chief
Executive nominees to Chairman Robert Kutin.

According to him, Kutin managed to replace some of
the nominees a day before the lists was
published.

He accused Mr Kutin for blocking the appointment
of one his vice Chairmen, Kofi Karikari from
becoming a deputy Regional Minister. ‘Upon all
the opportunities given to Kutin by the President,
he still impedes others progress. ‘He (Kutin) is
the Chairman of Maritime, while his uncle is
chairing the Getfund Board, but he did all he
could to block the appointment of Chairman KK
twice from serving as deputy minister in the
region’- he alleged

‘Others are afraid of Kutin, but I Mathew have
resolved to face Kutin everywhere to ensure that I
rescue the party from him’. ‘Kutin is hurting
the image of the party in that. I cannot allow him
to continue that trend for the party to suffer in
subsequent elections,’ California told a local
radio station.
