Speaking on Bole based Nkilgi FM’s morning show (Kokokioiyakoo) on Thursday 25th June 2020, Mr Malik Basintale said the NPP parliamentary candidate is in the possession of a Mitsubishi Pickup of the engineer of the Feeder Roads Department in the Bole District and cited the situation as one of the cases of indiscipline and abuse of power by the NPP.

“Very soon I and my team will be coming to the Bole District to seize the vehicle and hand it over to the Feeder Roads Engineer for his duties.”

Malik Basintale further said the entire NPP is very indisciplined disrespectful of authority.

“Just imagine after the NPP took over from office what is happening in this country? After they too over, their own party Chairman, Mr Adams Mahama has been bathed with acid and nothing has been done about that," he added.
