What Did Barnafo say?

The arrest of Dr Albert Barnafo, a confidant of Nana Konadu Agyeman Rawlings is causing sleepless nights in the National Democratic Congress (NDC) reports the Weekly Insight. Key members of the party are reportedly, wondering about just how much information Barnafo may have made available to the security services.

Dr Barnafo is said to know too much and insiders say that he is in a position to open the doors to the financial empire of the 31st December Women's Movement.

Until his arrest, Barnafo was a member of the Board of the Prestea Gold mines. He had been mentioned in a water supply deal between the Ministry of Works and Housing and the World Bank.

Dr Barnafo was so close to the first family that he was a permanent guest at all the family get-togethers of the Rawlings' in the last three years.

Currently, the question on most NDC lips is "just how much has he revealed?" An insider told the Insight that the man appears to know too much and if he decides to speak out there could be serious trouble for many people".
