The People’s National Convention General Secretary, Bernard Mornah, has denied claims by Dr. Sekou Nkrumah that he (Mornah) facilitated an attempt by a prominent ex-National Democratic Congress MP to offer him a car and cash meant to bribe him to do the NDC’s bidding.
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 said NDC leading member to bribe him.
He wondered why Dr Sekou Nkrumah 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 (Asempa FM) 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.
Mornah 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 the former MP invited Sekou Nkrumah to his house to resolve the stalemate between him and his sister, Samia Nkrumah.
Bernard Mornah said no bribe attempts were made to induce Sekou Nkrumah and asked him to be wary of his utterances.
Sekou Nkrumah however insisted that he was offered a car and cash to attack the opposition New Patriotic Party.
He told the Big Bite show host Abena Asiedua Tenkorang, that he was invited to the house of the former MP where the bribe was proposed, asserting that in the middle of their discussion, the NDC member offered him the car and cash which he believes was a form of bribe.
Sekou Nkrumah lashed out at Bernard Mornah as he affirmed the incident happened in his (Bernard Mornah) presence.
He advised the PNC General Secretary to be careful of his involvement in such bribery stressing that Bernard Mornah was “fortunate” he was not recorded.
