IS THE NPP NOW FISHING FOR EVIDENCE AGAINST AFOKO?

It has been three weeks since Paul Afoko , a leading contender in the NPP Chairmanship race met with the vetting committee where he was confronted with a anonymous petition that accused him of a criminal conviction in the United Kingdom.

The committee will neither show him the petition nor tell him the author, but went on to ask questions in relation to the claims of the unknown petitioner.

In the process, the committee ‘forced’ Afoko to supply them with his London address so they will begin their investigations.

Three weeks down the line we are now hearing that the NPP is waiting for a report from Interpol over Paul Afoko. Is the Interpol going to supply information about the alleged criminal conviction in the UK, or are they simply pair-trawling for any kind of dirt to hit Afoko with?

The institution with the records of all criminal convictions in the UK is the Crowns Prosecutions Service and they can even be contacted via the internet to supply the answers. It is curious that the NPP is taking this long to settle a simple matter or is it a gimmick to slow Afoko down while the other contenders are in the field?

One would have thought that the petitioner should have been made to accompany his or her petition with some basic evidence of the year of imprisonment, the court that convicted Afoko and the name of the presiding Judge in that matter but none of these was supplied.

A leading member of the NPP, Mr. Gabby Octhere Darko had this to say about the petition and the conduct of the vetting committee on his facebook wall: “So the NPP accepts petitions of allegations without supporting evidence from faceless strangers about their own leading members? Only for an innocent person sitting his somewhere to be publicly and falsely accused of being behind such rubbish? Sickening! Just sickening…” NPP YOUTH FOR PAUL AFOKO
