The Chief Executive Officer of the National Petroleum Authority, Edudzi Tameklo has expressed concern that public discussions on the operation carried out in the residence of the immediate past Governor of the Bank of Ghana, Dr Ernest Addison, by National Security operatives is based “secondhand accounts.”
He questioned the fairness of the discussion, arguing that much of the information circulating is based on an account by the Minority Leader, Alexander Afenyo-Markin, rather than direct testimony from the affected party.
Contributing to discussions on the topic on The KeyPoints with Alfred Ocansey, Tameklo expressed skepticism about the dominant narrative being pushed regarding the operation.
On March 19, operatives of the National Security were reported to have stormed the home of Dr Ernest Addison. They are reported to have ransacked the place and took away cars and CCTV installations.
The Minority Leader, Alex Afenyo-Markin, who visited Dr Addison moments after the incident informed the public that the security officers took away CCTV installations and cars. He further alleged that they “stole an amount of GHC10,000 from Dr Addison’s bed as well as jewelry belonging to his wife.”
