The Minister for Information, Mustapha Abdul Hamid has accused former Minister of Communications, Dr Edward Omani Boamah of allegedly spreading falsehood about him being the owner of a custom made cross-country vehicle with a customized number plate [HAMID 1-18].
Images of the vehicle, allegedly owned by Mustapha Hamid has been making rounds on social media lately.
Addressing journalists in Wa on Thursday, the Information Minister said the reason for his accusation was that the story was first carried by a website owned by the former Communications Minister, “Ghanapolitics.comâ€.
He added that based on his observation, the National Democratic Congress (NDC) still thinks that Ghanaians are gullible the very thing that sent them into opposition.
He disclosed that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) has set two areas of targets for the government; competence and integrity as the roadmap that will lead to the performance of the government.
Mr Hamid asserted it is integrity that led the NPP government has set in motion a three hundred and ten (310) page report by the auditor general which has been able to save the nation from the loss of 5.7 billion cedis.
The Minister, therefore, urged Ghanaians particularly journalists to be circumspect when it comes to the allegations of corruption as they must not accept anything in the name of corruption allegation hook line and sinker.
Mr Hamid said Ghanaians must be praised especially with the vibrancy of the media since 1992 which has shown the level of tolerance of the leadership of the country saying “even though insults are not good it is only in Ghana that the people could insult including presidents and get away with itâ€.
Touching on why he was meeting the media in the region, he said it is an opportunity to learn at first hand from journalists about the performance of the government one year on and also learn from them how to move forward.
