Dismiss And Arrest Yaw Boateng Gyan Now

The Conservative Alliance Network (CAN) has observed with immense regret,
the content of the tape recording of a secret conversation between Yaw
Boateng Gyan (National Organizer of National Democratic Congress and
Presidential Staffer of the Republic of Ghana) and some party foot soldiers.

We note the blatant recruitment of NDC faithfuls into the National Security
setup of the country to violently and illegally influence the outcome of
this year’s election in contravention with the laws of this country. Again,
we note the intention to use state funds provided by the Minister of
Finance and the Finance Director at the ministry to fund such unholy
operations as clearly evidenced by Yaw Boateng Gyan.

With the president’s insistent call for violent-free and fair elections on
various platforms, we believe this treasonable ploy by Yaw Boateng Gyan is
one of many opportunities for the President to demonstrate his commitment
to non-violence and peace before this year’s election.
From the foregoing, the Conservative Alliance Network (CAN) wishes to
demand that:

1. The President must dismiss Yaw Boateng Gyan as Presidential Staffer at
the presidency immediately pending full-scale police enquiry.

2. The President must order the arrest of Yaw Boateng Gyan and his
collaborators.

3. The President must dismiss the minister of finance and the Finance
Director immediately pending full-scale police enquiry.

4. The President, who doubles as the Leader of the N.D.C should suspend the
National Organizer and institute an enquiry into the recorded utterances
and the findings made public.

Thank you.
