Was The 3.5m Drill-Ship Money Used For NPP's 2012 Campaign? NDC Amsterdam Wants To Know
14.10.2013 LISTEN

It's sad to see people make fun/jokes about issues that could very well be seen a prelude to something more sinister and deadly. Because, fact of the matter is, Kwesi Banahene (the NPP elder who brutally cutlassed a dog) should have known better than to reduce himself to the gutters of Animal Cruelty.

By International Law, animals have to be treated "humanely" so if he chooses to use his ignorance to become a scape-goat to help educate Ghanaians that animal cruelty should not be given a place in our scociety then so be it. The law also stipulates that the word, such as "animal," as they are used in Title 14, the Malicious Mischief section, of the International Penal Code on Animal Cruelty. - Title 14 is where all Penal Code sections pertaining to animal cruelty are found and refers to any animal at all.


The law continues to define that - Failure to care for animals; duty of peace or humane officers; disposal of abandoned, sick or disabled animals; notice to owner; lien; injured cats and dogs in public places. Also Every owner of any animal, who permits the animal to be without proper care and attention, shall, on conviction, be deemed guilty of a misdemeanor.

It shall be the duty of any peace officer, officer of the humane society, or officer of a pound or animal regulation department of a public agency, to take possession of the animal so abandoned or neglected and care for the animal until it is redeemed by the owner.

Every sick, disabled, infirm, or crippled animal, except a dog or cat, may, if after due search no owner can be found therefore, be killed by the officer. all injured cats and dogs found without their owners in a public place directly to a veterinarian known by the officer or agency to be a veterinarian that ordinarily treats dogs and cats for a determination of whether the animal shall be immediately and humanely destroyed or shall be hospitalized under proper care and given emergency treatment.

NDC diasporian branches , call on the authorities to also use the opportunity to educate the masses on the importance and prevention of animal cruelty. Mr. Banahene should be ashamed of his behavior and NPP members of the South Tongu constituency should be able to condemn this hideous action of a human being who has buried himself in hatred towards another human being that he even goes out to attack an animal (pet) owned by the person he loathes. NPP members across the board should be able to condemn this act, and not politicize it like they do every other issue. Ghanaians are not murders nor killers and NPP should not be allowed to configure us into such,


Having said that, Members of the NDC Amsterdam Branch would also like to know if the missing $3.5m US Dollars, signed by Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo under the Terms and conditions of the MOA and the execution thereof by Kobina Tahir Hammond for and on behalf of the Corporation be and are hereby approved, confirmed and ratified in all respects”, was what he used for his Campaign in 2012 and thereby couldn't afford to let that investment go to waste because he had to account to the people of Ghana should the Drill-Ship Sale saga hit the media as it has now, hence the supreme saga that ensued?

We understand that the Power of Attorney and the Resolution for this sale was a Certification of Authentication dated 3rd July, 2001 and signed by the Attorney-General and Minister of Justice, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

We urge the Government of Ghana to act accordingly in ensuring that Ghanaians get answers to all the questions surrounding this and other issues that tend to tarnish the reputation of government officials.


Signed

Mr. Adarkwah
Secretary
