Executive Secretary of the Ghana Free Zones Board, Kwadwo Twum Boafo, has described as misleading a quote attributed to him for saying Omanhene of Essikado Traditional Area, Nana Kobina Nketsia V is not �holier than the pope�.
According to reports circulating in a section of the media, the Chief at a public lecture organized by the Western Regional Branch of the Old Vandals Association at the Takoradi Polytechnic condemned the increase in corruption among public officials which has denied Ghanaians the development they deserve.
Mr. Twum Boafo is reported to have responded on an Accra based radio station, Asempa FM that the Chief is guilty as charged; thereby attracting the headline �Nana Nketsia cannot be holier than the Pope - Twum Boafo�.
But speaking on Radio Gold�s current affairs programme, Alhaji and Alhaji with Alhassan Suhuyini Saturday, Mr. Twum Boafo denied the headline attributed to him.
�The small grammar that I learnt in school tells me that if you put something in quotes and you put it as headlines, you are trying to say that �this is what the person said��I have been quoted on a website but I never said that Nana Nketsia cannot be holier than the Pope. I did not even talk about the Pope�, he lamented.
�I have never mentioned the name of the Pope in the last two months�so where did they get the headline from? It seems these media organizations specialize in whatever they do so they should continue with that�the people of Ghana voted for the National Democratic Congress and it doesn�t matter what people do�it cannot change anything� he bewailed.
