What appeared to be a mutual conversation among three prominent politicians in the country has now turned into a vexed conflict with one accusing the other of bribery and inducement.
Though the truth is yet to be told or maybe never be known, it will go down as the day that the son of Ghana’s first President, Sekou Nkrumah, PNC General Secretary Bernard Mornah, and a former NDC MP, David Lamptey, met to either decide the fate of the ruling NDC or rather deface the opposition NPP through inducement.
The PNC General Secretary, Bernard Mornah, has ostensibly denied earlier claims by Dr. Sekou Nkrumah that Mr David Lamptey, offered him a car and cash which according to him is an attempt to bribe him.
Speaking to Xfm 95.1 on the Big bite Wednesday, Bernard Mornah described the pronouncements by Sekou Nkrumah as “outrageous and strange” disclaiming any move by the NDC leading member to bribe him.
He wondered why Dr Sekou would put up such a story and claim he was offered a car and cash in order to obviously project the ideals of the NDC towards the general elections in 2012.
"…what kind of language is this? And my understanding is that he actually came out and called Bobie at the other station and told him that he has news for him. I said why do you take things out of proportion?"
"I hear some funny funny stories, then, I ask why would anybody be bribing you, Sekou? Of what relevance?...or you just want to create some imaginary relevance around your field. You don't have it and you don't want people to think that you are worth anything to be bribed. I don't think so", he said.
He explained that on the said day of meeting, the three politicians discussed a variety of issues with no such thing like bribe cropping up in their conversation. He said that David Lamptey invited Sekou Nkrumah to his house to resolve the stalemate between him and his sister, Samia Nkrumah.
He added that no bribe attempts were made to induce Sekou Nkrumah and asked him to be wary of his utterances.
Yet, Sekou Nkrumah insists that he was offered a car and cash to deface the opposition NPP.
He spoke to the host of the Big bite show, Abena Asiedua Tenkorang.
According to Sekou, he was invited to the house of David Lamptey where the bribe was proposed. He asserted, in the middle of their discussion, the NDC member offered him the car and cash which he believes is a form of bribe.
Sekou Nkrumah lashed out at Bernard Mornah as he affirmed the incident happened in his (Bernard Mornah) sight.
He advised the PNC General Secretary to be careful of his involvement in such bribery stressing that Bernard Mornah is “fortunate” he was not recorded.
