Former Deputy CEO of the National Youth Authority, Akosua Manu, has cast doubt on the integrity of the probe ordered by President John Dramani Mahama into recent allegations of suspected drug trafficking and money laundering at Kotoka International Airport.
Speaking on Breakfast Daily on Channel One News, Manu voiced strong skepticism about the impartiality of the investigation, citing what she described as misleading narratives already put forth by the President’s communications team.
“The bottom line of this is, I don’t even trust the probe that the President is asking for. Because his spokesperson has already implicated the matter, not because we’ve seen parcels or anything as others are throwing in, but because the sequence of events shows there was a deliberate attempt to lie to the public,” she said.
Manu specifically accused the presidential spokesperson of misrepresenting facts related to the incident.
“He told barefaced lies. He lied about the maintenance part, he lied about the aircraft, he lied about the maintenance schedule, and the route. On what basis did he even have that information to put out there?” she asked.
In light of these concerns, Manu is advocating for an independent and bipartisan approach. “I am calling for a bipartisan committee to look into the matter,” she stated.
