A former branch Chairman of opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Mr. Seth Birikorang, has called on the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP) to mount a thorough investigation into the wealth amassed by the National Campaign Coordinator of the NDC, Mr. Kofi Adams.
According to him, it was surprising for Kofi Adams, who never held any sensitive position in government to amass so much wealth and acquire such expensive fleet of vehicles within the short period of NDC’s reign.
He noted that it was in the right direction that the ruling government sent national security to seize his vehicles, suggesting that he [Kofi Adams] should be dealt with if he is found guilty of looting the state.
Mr. Birikorang made this known in an interaction with some selected media houses in Cape Coast yesterday.
According to him, Kofi Adams’ sudden wealth was a surprise to many Ghanaians, and admonished the ruling government to crack the whip on him and any other former government officials found guilty of looting the nation.
“It wouldn’t surprise me if he is indeed found guilty because if he was able to help form the National Democratic Party (NDP) while still a member of the NDC to satisfy his inordinate desire for quick self-enrichment, then there is nothing he wouldn’t do to attain his current status,” he indicated.
He chastised the Minister of National Security, Mr. Kan Dapaah, for being too hasty in apologising to Mr. Adams when his vehicles were seized; saying investigations should have been conducted for the bare facts to be established before taking such a step.
The former NDC chairman, who doubles as Central Regional director of communications for the NDP, described Mr. Adams as “selfish and a false propagandist” who has never helped anyone including those whose services he sought in effort to achieve his political agenda.
“I together with two others were brutalised and assaulted by NDC foot-soldiers at Agona West constituency when Kofi Adams asked us to organise a press conference in the heat of the Friends of Nana Konadu Agyeman-Rawlings (FONKAR) and Get Atta Mills Endorsed (GAME) brouhaha,” he recalled.
“We were incarcerated and our belongings and monies were stolen but Kofi Adams did not show any concern to any of us. So what is happening to him today is the law of karma,” he added.
Mr. Birikorang questioned why former President Jerry John Rawlings was still keeping Mr. Adams as his spokesperson when he does not meet his (Rawlings’) hallmark of probity, accountability, transparency and sincerity.
