New Patriotic Party national chairman, Peter Mac Manu says Deputy Information Minister, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa was wrong to have claimed a National Democratic Congress parlaimentary candidate suffered an instant incarceration under the J.A. Kufuor-led NPP government.
According to Mac Manu, what happened in October 2008 when Pius Opoku Boateng, standing as the NDC Parliamentary candidate for Kwabre West in the December elections, was sentenced to 12 months imprisonment for double registration, cannot be compared to the arrest and hurried detention of Nana Darkwa, an NPP activist who accused former Presdident Jerry Rawlings of burning his own house.
According to Mac Manu, while Pius Opoku Boateng was sentenced on his own plea of guilt, Nana Darkwa never admitted to the crime for which he has been charged, and that his subsequent two-week prison remand cannot be justified.
