Subin NPP Members Attack Party Office Over MP’s Alleged plunder of Flagstaff House Cash Meant For Them

Members of the Subin Constituency branch of the ruling New Patriotic Party, this morning, angrily, besieged the party office there to lock it up amidst allegation that their Member of Parliament has stolen monies meant for delegates there.

The angry party members had approached the party office with their own set of pad locks however, a timely intervention by the Police prevented the intended lock up.

According to the aggrieved members, their MP, Eugene Boakye Antwi, has kept monies that the seat of government, Jubilee House, has been releasing to the various constituencies to be shared by delegates for the past three years.

The Presidency, it is revealed, releases monies for delegates of the NPP at the various constituencies across the country however, in the past three years, those in Subin have not been receiving these monies.

Through colleague delegates from other constituencies however, they realized that the Presidency has been releasing monies to be shared to them. Just last week, they confronted a Deputy National Vice Chairman of the party who revealed to them that their monies have always been received on their behalf by their MP, Eugene Boakye Antwi.

This led to a confrontation with the MP who told them that he has in turn been forwarding the monies to the party’s Constituency Chairman. However, when they confronted the Chairman he also said the money was with the MP.

Realizing that the MP and the Chairman may have connived to “chop” the money allocated to them by Jubilee House over the past three years, they resolved to march on the party office and lock it up so it would inaccessible to the Chairman, MP and other executives of the party.

If they had been successful, they would have held the party to ransom by demanding that their monies be given them before they open the office, but they were not successful. Armed Police officers timely intervened and forestalled the lockdown.

Meanwhile, the delegates are vowing not to allow the party to impose the sitting MP as an unopposed candidate for re-election.
