The Central Regional Minister, Madam Ama Benyiwa Doe, has described as unfortunate and mischievous, a publication by the �Daily Searchlight� Newspaper alleging that she has begun with the construction of a storey building just within the eleventh month stay of the NDC government.
�I find it ridiculous and absurd when such a lie is peddled without double cross checking, and the unfortunate part is when people believe it without knowing the truth,� she told PEACEFM News.
The Hon. Minister, who also doubles as the National Women�s Organizer of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) was reacting to media speculations that she had torn down her semi- detached building and has commenced with the putting up of a storey building on the same land at her East Legon.
This latest architectural foray, according to the �Daily Searchlight�, comes just eleven months into the President Mills administration.
A careful observation by Peace News reporters who visited the project site showed that some form of construction works was on-going. But the building which seems to have generated quite a lot of media interest is only at the window level of construction with bamboo sticks used as support-stakes.
One of the loudest critics of the erstwhile New Patriotic Party (NPP) government, Hon. Benyiwa-Doe accused the �Daily Searchlight� Editor of being influenced by her detractors to write misleading and untruths about her person, all in a calculated attempt to discredit her. She entreated the public to treat everything written about her in the newspaper with a pinch of salt.
�Ken Korankye is certainly motivated by certain people to peddle this untruth since he was an ally of the NDC sometime ago, before writing complimentary stories for the NPP lately. I will entreat the public to stop buying his paper to avoid reading such misleading stories,� she said.
