The
Afadjato South District Chief Executive, Angela Alorwu-tey, has been
accused of shielding a common thief from the grips of police simply
because the latter is a propaganda secretary or a communications officer
of the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) in the constituency.
Lawrence
Nyator, the man in question and the propaganda secretary of the NDC is
the store keeper of the Afadjato South District Education office and
also vying for the Assemblyman of the constituency.
In an
interview on Citi FM in Accra to reveal the story, the Assemblyman of
Ve-Deme electoral area and Vice Chairman Social Services Sub-Committee
of Afadjato District Assembly, Mr. Delali Agbodza said, he got wind of
the fact that Mr. Nyator was selling government exercise books from the
Assembly’s stock.
Mr. Agbodza said, he followed up to Liati
Agbonyra upon tip off where the books were being sold to primary and
Junior High School students (JHS). He said, two stores in the community
were identified as sales point for the stolen books and both store
keepers mentioned Lawrence Nyator as the supplier of the books.
Again,
Mr. Agbodza said, he proceeded to the Agbonyra catholic primary and
retrieved 26 exercise books and at the JHS 1&2 he retrieved 13.
“In
another village, I retrieved 46 exercise books and brought the matter
to the police but as I speak Mr. Nyator is walking a free man without
arrest and even contesting for the assemblyman position with such
character”, he said.
According to Mr. Agbodza, his investigation
revealed that the DCE Angela Alowutey has been pulling the strings to
keep her party’s communications officer from the grips of the law.
“One
Police officer confided in me that it’s the DCE who told them that the
case should not be followed because the man is the propaganda secretary
of the NDC… but it begs the question of what kind of man is the seeking
the public office as an assemblyman?”, he stated. |
