The National Organiser of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Henry Nana Boakye, has called on Ghanaians to rise up as the National Democratic Congress (NDC) is acting as if Ghana has been sold to them.
Speaking during the NPP press conference, Nana B highlighted Sammy Darko’s claims of the government having a WhatsApp platform which consists of CSOs, Journalists, Police and even Judges.
Nana B stated, “On JOY FM News File, Sammy Darko revealed that the government has created a platform, and the civil society is also on the same platform. Some selected journalists, the OSP, Attorney General and the Police have also been added, but the scary part is that Judges are also on the platform.
The presidency is behind all of this. It’s all because they had an overwhelming majority.
He added, “As we speak now in parliament, they have an overwhelming majority, they do what pleases them… Nobody holds them responsible; they take Ghanaians to be dumb, such that the power Ghanaians gave them has given them the opportunity to make Ghanaians dumb.
They fought against the idea of buying a plane. Look at the things Ablakwa, Asiedu Nketia and Sammy Gyamfi said; meanwhile, with the power today, they are planning to buy 4 planes. Ghanaians have been forced to keep quiet; they do what they please. Lets us stand up and let them know that Ghana wasn’t sold to them, Ghana hasn’t become their property”, Nana B added.
Meanwhile, Manasseh Azure Awuni, an Investigative journalist, has reacted to claims by Sammy Appiah Darko, the Office of the Special Prosecutor’s (OSP) Director of Strategy, Research, and Communication, over an alleged government WhatsApp group.
On JoyNews Newsfile on Saturday, December 6, 2025, Sammy Appiah Darko claimed he had an encounter with Manasseh about an issue in a group they both belong to, created by the government.
Sammy Darko claimed, “I’ve had an encounter with Manasseh over this. There is a government WhatsApp group that we are on, and he brings this issue up. In fact, as he said, he’s had the opportunity to see first-hand some of the work that we have done”.
He added, “The point I’m making is that it is created by the government because we are charting a new path on our anti-corruption policy.”
However, Manasseh Azure Awuni, in a sharp rebuttal, clarified that the John Mahama government has not constituted a WhatsApp group for any clandestine or discreet activities.
According to Manasseh Azure Awuni, he does not belong to or know of any government WhatsApp group that discusses discreet activities.
He revealed that there is a group with institutional representation which has all anti-corruption agencies in the country to develop a five-year National Ethics and Anti-Corruption Action Plan (NEACAP) to replace the expired 10-year NACAP.
The Investigative journalist in a post on Facebook wrote, “There is a working group that is developing a five-year National Ethics and Anti-Corruption Action Plan (NEACAP) to replace the expired 10-year NACAP.
The working group has institutional representation from all the state anti-corruption agencies, representatives of the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, GIZ, the judiciary, the A-G, civil society groups, the police, FIC, youth representation, development partners of Ghana, and individuals who have contributed to the fight against corruption.
I am a member of the NEACAP Working Group on account of my work in the fight against corruption. Sammy Darko is a representative of the OSP in that group.
The NEACAP working group was publicly inaugurated and covered by the media. The group’s activities and regional consultations have been widely reported in the media. (A Google search will produce tons of stories about the NEACAP Working Group.)
The Group has a WhatsApp platform that coordinates its activities.
I don’t know how this is a “government WhatsApp group” as claimed by Sammy Darko, and suggested by others to mean the government’s capture of critical voices”.
