Political ‘Sins’ Of NDC’s General Mosquito Visited On His Children

General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, has revealed that his children are not comfortable with the way their father is involved in the often brutal politics of Ghana.

For being the chief scribe of the NDC, the New Patriotic Party (NPP) government of President Akufo-Addo has reportedly dispossessed his two children of their jobs.

According to “General Mosquito” his son who was working with a private firm at the Tema Harbor was forced to leave the job because the firm was given a choice to either sack him or forfeit its operating license.

“My son is out of work. He happened to be working with a private company at the harbour. Now that private company operates with a government licence, then the management of the GPHA squeezed that private company and insisted that until my son is sacked, the licence will be withdrawn so my son had to be sacked,” the NDC scribe told told JoyNews’.

Additionally, his daughter who used to work with the Audit Service was sacked after she had refused to implicate another person for political reasons, he revealed.

“My daughter was also working with another government institution involved in auditing. Because of my children’s moral upbringing, they are very strict when it comes to speaking the truth and remaining with the facts,” General Mosquito lamented.

“So she happened to be working with the Internal Audit Department of a government institution. She was sent on an assignment and given instructions to find something to implicate an innocent person for political reasons and she said she cannot do it. So she refused to do it and when she came back from the assignment, they had to take her from one head office to some district branch in Greater Accra and when she went there the manager [at the district branch] said ‘there is no desk for you’,” Mr Asiedu said.

The NDC chief scribe who has been General Secretary since 2005 was initially hesitant about revealing the personal prices that his children have had to pay because of his politics but came around to making the revelation when he was asked.
