I Personally Saw NPP Sharing Covid Funds In My Constituency During 2020 Polls – Agbodza
Member of Parliament for Adaklu, Kwame Agbodza has claimed that he saw New Patriotic Party (NPP) executives sharing funds that were meant for the fight against Covid-19, in his constituency during the 2020 elections.
He said on the New Day show on TV3, Monday June 6 with Johnnie Hughes that he personally saw the executives of the governing party involved in the money sharing.
“I saw it in Adaklu, [NPP] were distributing the money,” he stressed.
But the Member of Parliament for Sekondi, Andrew Egyapa Mercer denied the claims saying no such thing happened as far as he is concerned.
He explained that due to the impact of the coronavirus, loans were made available to small businesses to enable them keep their businesses afloat.
This, he said, is probably, being misconstrued by the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) to be money sharing for votes.
“We just came out of pandemic,” he said, adding that ” facilities were given to private businesses due to the impact of the Covid on their businesses.”
However, Mr Agbodza challenged that assertion again, asking “Does National Board for Small Scale Industries (NBSSI) give money to businesses due to party affiliations?”
“The money was not meant for businesses they were meant for the NPP to chop,” he stressed.
