Broadcast journalist Afia Pokua, known popularly as Vim Lady, is of the view that no one in the New Patriotic Party (NPP) is sympathetic to Ken Ofori Atta’s plight because of how he conducted himself in power.
According to her, even the ordinary Ghanaian is not sympathetic to the former Finance Minister because of how he handled the people in the country.
She noted that while in government, Ken Ofori Atta became so unpopular that people in the NPP petitioned the president to remove him, but the president did not listen.
“No one in the NPP is sympathetic to Ken Ofori Atta because of how he handled himself in power. Even the ordinary Ghanaian is not sympathetic. The Akans have always said that power is transient,” she said.
To her, there are questions that need to be answered as to whether the Office of the Special Prosecutor had evidence to prosecute Ken Ofori Atta but was blocked by the former President and his government.
She questioned “did the OSP have access to this evidence and attempt to charge Ken Ofori Attah under NPP or did the evidence of SML just surfaced?
Adding that “If there was, did the then govt attempt to BLOCK charges against Ofori Attah because as we know Ken is the President’s relative?”
