Press Release

GOV’T SETS UP SLUSH FUND TO FOMENT
TROUBLE IN NPP, SAYS FREDDIE BLAY
The acting Chairman of the New Patriotic Party, Mr. Freddie
Blay, says the John Mahama-led National Democratic Congress
government has set up a slush fund, whose sole purpose is to
aid in the fomenting of trouble in the NPP, thereby damaging
the party ahead of the 2016 election.
According to Mr. Freddie Blay, with President Mahama
desperate to hang onto power in spite of his abysmal
performance, government has sanctioned the formation of a
crack team, supported by elements in the National Security
set up, to make the job of attempting to damage the NPP a
top priority.
The acting NPP Chairman made this known when he addressed
members of the NPP and the media on Friday, November 27,
2015 at the Headquarters of the NPP, the scene of a dawn
raid by armed men in military uniform.
“To the ruling NDC, creating confusion in the NPP is a more
competent and convenient way to gain electoral advantage
than fixing the myriad of problems they have visited on the
country. We are aware of the tens of millions of Ghana Cedis
in slush funds dedicated to this special project,” he said.
Mr Freddie Blay also disclosed that the NPP knows of
individuals “including two heads of important organizations,
whose job it is to fund and fuel this evil plot.”
President Mahama, according to the acting NPP Chairman, is
desperate and believes he can use this fiction of confusion
to snatch for his party a third consecutive term in office,
adding that “he has started with the focus of his recent
campaign speeches.”
He continued, “These attacks on the NPP, and the deliberate
dragging of the party’s image in the mud have followed a
clear pattern in the last year or so. Our major worry is
that the plot is getting thicker and more deadly. We believe
if we do not bring focus to this evil plot now, more lives
could be lost and our democracy could be severely damaged.
We cannot accept this. We have come too far as a nation for
a return to the ‘dark days’ of the culture of silence.”
Mr. Freddie Blay urged National Security personnel and
others who have made it their industry to invest in the
creation of confusion and sponsoring raids and physical
attacks to stop.
“PLEASE STOP! Stop being used for evil. Your job is to
protect the people and not to destroy!” he added.
Freddie Blay,
Acting Chair, NPP
