Aide
to the 2012 Presidential candidate of the New Patriotic Party, Mustapha
Hamid has indicated that Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has no qualms over
calls on him to appear before the Judgment debt Commission.
He
expressed Nana Addo's readiness to honour the invitation of the
Commission to assist in its investigations into the sale of the drill
ship Discoverer 511.
The ship, which was sold off for 24 million
dollars, has since been the focus of political discussion, hence the
setting up of a Commission presided by Justice Appau to unearth the
truth behind the sale and the payment of judgement debts by previous
governments.
K.T Hammond and Kan Dapaah, former Ministers during
the erstwhile Kufour administration, a couple of days ago, appeared
before the Commission; after which Lawyer Tsatsu Tsikata, former Chief
Executive Officer of the Ghana National Petroleum Commission came before
the Sole Commissioner to answer pertinent questions regarding the deal.
Following
the appearances of these leading characters in the drill ship saga,
other leaders such as Nana Addo, Ex-Presidents J.A Kufour and Jerry John
Rawlings have all been cited to be interrogated by the Commission for
their distinctive roles in the deal.
Speaking in an interview
with Radio Gold, Mustapha Hamid opined that Nana Addo is unfazed by any
invitation by the Commission, and posited that he is rather "indifferent
to the extent that he thinks that Government of Ghana at that time
acted in good faith and according to law. I don’t think that he has
anything to worry at all and indeed he’s not worried at all. He just
thinks that this country as part of the political atmosphere; people say
so many things that really don’t have substance.”
So, he
disclosed, "if he’s (Nana Addo) invited to put substance to it, he would
but as far as I’m concerned he’s not worried at all.”
