Audio By Carbonatix
A pro-NDC pressure group, Research and Advocacy Platform, says it is going to impress upon the security agencies to arrest the former National Youth Organiser of the NPP, Anthony Karbo for allegedly plotting to destabilize the 2012 elections.
In a leaked audio tape with a voice purported to be that of Mr. Karbo, he was heard scheming to bring in ‘macho’ men from outside Ghana to 'police' the elections for the NPP; there were plans to also attack certain key senior security officers.
The group’s spokesperson and member of the government's communication team, Felix Kwakye Ofosu told Evans Mensah on Joy FM’s Top Story Monday that he was “convinced” the voice was that of Anthony Karbo.
“I can bet my life on it that it is his voice,” he insisted.He noted, this is one of the "elaborate plans by the NPP to come to power at all cost”.
“What the NPP has been trying to do is to wage a war of attrition to foment trouble,” he maintained, citing Nana Addo’s all-die-be-de mantra to buttress his claims.
Kwakye Ofosu described the contents of the tape as “extremely unfortunate and ethnocentric”.
He said the group would Tuesday launch a formal complaint with the Criminal Investigations Department of the Ghana Police Service and other security agencies.
“We will ensure that Karbo is apprehended,” he said.
Moreover, Kwakye Ofosu also indicated that Akufo-Addo should be blamed for what Mr Karbo purportedly said.
According to him, “it is inconceivable that Karbo on his own volition” will go out and make those pronouncements.
Efforts made by Joy News to get to the former NPP Youth Organizer to ascertain the voice on the tape were unsuccessful.
But the NPP director of communications Nana Akomea told Joy News he was able to speak to Mr Anthony Karbo who said the “voice sounds like him” but could “not recollect having a meeting like that”.
Nevertheless, Nana Akomea stated that NPP has taken a cue from the violent attacks on their supporters at Chereponi, Akwatia and Atiwa and would therefore “defend our rights…if these incidents continue we will defend ourselves. But we not instigate violence”.
However, he said, the “NPP will not condone any of its members instigating violence”.
