He is a better human being than Mr. Mpiani, Mr. Sammy Crabbe, Mr Victor Selormey, and Mr. Tsatsu Tsikata, E.T Mensah."He said Mr. Boateng should not engage in "machoism" and "unnecessary show of grandeur" if he has nothing to hide.Ablakwa noted the BNI would use the appropriate mechanism to haul the ex-minister for questioning.Story by Nathan Gadugah/Myjoyonline.com
