Botwe Denies Report

The General Secretary of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr Dan Botwe, on Wednesday denied a newspaper report that quoted him as saying the former first lady should stop circulating information of her supposed ownership of the house at Ridge where the former President is staying

In a press statement signed in Accra, he said his discussion with the Evening News centred on the resettlement of former President Jerry Rawlings and the call by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) that his decision to stay with his wife Nana Konadu should be respected.

"My comment was that the NDC statement could be misleading and the impression should not be created as if the property was personally owned by the former first lady."
