Afenyo-Markin exposes NPP appointees pretending to be NDC just to maintain their positions

.
Minority Leader Alexander Afenyo-Markin has exposed attempts by some New Patriotic Party (NPP) political appointees who are employing dishonesty to hold on to their jobs even after the appointing authority that gave them the position has left power.

Speaking in an interview with GH One TV, the Member of Parliament for Effutu in the Central Region cited an instance where two appointees at the Electricity Company of Ghana (ECG), where he served as Board Chairman, are reportedly dishonestly claiming to be members of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) to persuade the new administration to retain them.

"I am particularly concerned about something happening at ECG, where I was a board chair. The acting MD we appointed, David Asamoah, I have been reliably informed, is now telling the new government that he is an NDC member so they should maintain him. I laughed my head off. This is a man who was all over the place chasing us here and there to be made acting MD.

"And then there is another guy called Moses Okley, who was the Director of Finance. The board made a decision—someone came first in an interview and secured the Director of Finance position. However, he and the acting MD teamed up to claim that the minister had asked them not to release the appointment letter, as if it was a recruitment process. Now, this same Moses Okley is going around saying he is an NDC member when he once sat in my office and told me he was previously an NPP parliamentary aspirant."

He added, "As for Ghana, when government changes, you see the true colors of people. When I heard it, I thought, really?

"I am surprised at them. It tells you how greed and double standards can lead people to act in ways that undermine the very principles they claim to believe in."
