The Member of Parliament for Dormaa East, Paul Twum Barimah, has warned the National Democratic Congress to desist from inciting the people of Ejura with their divisive and derogatory comments about the Ejura committee report.
Speaking to the media in an interview , Honourable Paul Twum Barimah said the Ejura committee report was fair and just and should be accepted by all Ghanaians and its findings and recommendations implemented by government .
He noted that politicising the report through unnecessary press conferences and meetings by the NDC to create confusion and instability in Ejura would not be in the interest of the country.
He wondered why the NDC is always interested in creating chaos and political instability just to score cheap political points. Hon. Twum Barimah further called on Ghanaians to ignore the cheap propaganda being churned out by the NDC.
The main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), on Tuesday held a press conference and alleged that the findings of the three-member Ejura Committee that investigated the murder of social media activist Ibrahim Kaaka Mohammed, and the subsequent violence that resulted in the army shooting and killing two demonstrators at Ejura in the Ashanti Region, smacked of a poor cover-up job.
However, Member of Parliament for Dormaa East constituency clarified that the report does not cover up anybody. He said the NDC officials have not taken their time to read the report well hence the display of ignorance on the part of its members. He advised them to take their time and read the report well then they would come to a reasonable conclusion.
It will be recalled that the Ejura fact finding committee, under the chairmanship of His Lordship Justice George Kingsley Koomson, held its sittings at the Prempeh Assembly Hall in Kumasi.
Other members of the committee were Professor Vladimir Antwi-Danso, a security expert and Ms Juliet Adiema Amoah, Executive Director of Penplusbyte, a civil society organisation.
Ms Marie Louise Simmons of the Attorney General’s office was the secretary to the committee. Among other things, it found that the murder of Kaaka was probably as a result of a family feud.
