The Director of operations of pressure group Friends of Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings (FONKAR) has denied the Enquirer newspaper publication that the group had been dissolved for re-integration into the NDC.
The 28th February 2012 edition of the newspaper published a story headlined ‘FONKAR dissolved’.
Ransford Chatman Vanni-Amoah and five other founding members reportedly signed a communiqué indicating that the group had ceased to exist by name or membership in the interest of the NDC ahead of the December polls.
While admitting that Ransford Chatman Vanni-Amoah and the others who signed the communiqué were once members of FONKAR, Operations Director Ernest Owusu Bempah said on Adom FM’s Dwaso Nsem on Tuesday that they had been dismissed by the group, because their character contravened the principles of FONKAR.
He alleged that Ransford Chatman had been using the group’s name to run down FONKAR.
He also accused Ransford Chatman of allegedly taking money from the NPP and the National Security Coordinator all with the aim of collapsing the group.
He claimed some elements within the NDC have hatched a plan to run down Ghana’s former First Lady, Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings to make her unattractive to the party.
"This grand scheme by some people in the Castle who want to finish the former First Lady and former President Rawlings because of their parochial interest will never wash. Because some of us are helping to match them boot for boot and make sure that truth, honesty and transparency will override corruption and all those things that are going on in the NDC," Owusu Bempah said.
He added that FONKAR had the full support of Nana Konadu Agyemang Rawlings and does not see why some people will say the group had been dissolved.
Owusu Bempah said ‘nobody wants disunity in the NDC, but things should be told the way they are including the payment of judgment debt to Alfred Woyome which FONKAR sees it as an act of corruption”.
