Ama Pratt, Press Secretary and Spokesperson to Ghana’s Vice President
Ama Pratt has issued a stern warning to the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), and the Member of Parliament for Assin South, Rev Ntim Fordjour accusing them of making baseless allegations against the government regarding cocaine trafficking and money laundering.
The Press Secretary and Spokesperson to Ghana’s Vice President cautioned that such serious accusations, especially when made publicly and without concrete evidence, could have significant consequences.
“I hope that all of you — yourself included — who go around communicating on this matter and stating it categorically, are ready for the repercussions,” she declared during an interview on GHOne TV, monitored by MyNewsGh.
Ama Pratt emphasized that while public discourse and scrutiny are essential in a democracy, making deliberate and unproven accusations of criminal conduct, such as drug trafficking and money laundering, requires responsibility and accountability.
“You cannot accuse a government of money laundering and involvement in cocaine trafficking and expect that, when the dust settles, you can simply walk away under the lights and cameras of TV stations,” she stressed.
She challenged the Minority in Parliament to support their claims with solid evidence rather than relying on speculation regarding flight movements and aircraft activities.
According to her, pointing out that certain flights landed in Ghana or that their initial missions changed mid-air is insufficient to substantiate such serious claims.
“What’s outstanding today is not whether the flight left Tunisia or not. Cocaine and money laundering — when do we get to proving that?” she questioned.
Ama Pratt concluded by urging responsibility and caution in public commentary, particularly from high-ranking politicians.
