Information Minister Exposes Deputy – Minister

Following THE DEMOCRAT's front-page story about the Deputy-Minister who has bought a BMW value at ?200 million for his 19 year old girl friend, the Minister for Information, Nana Akomea has revealed that the deputy – minister in question has not been paid for the past five months since he took up the appointment in government.

Though THE DEMOCRAT did not name the deputy-minister in question, Nana Akomea told “Radio Gold” that he gathered the name of the deputy-minister in question from the grapevine.

He said the deputy-minister in question had worked outside Ghana for some time and therefore had his own money and car and wonders what was wrong if the deputy minister shared his car with his 19 year-old girl friend.

THE DEMOCRAT promises to name the deputy-minister soon after winding up its investigations.
