A Governance Expert, Prof Baffour Agyeman-Duah has described as puzzling the probe into the campaign finances of the flagbearers of the Progressive People’s Party (PPP) and the All People’s Congress (APC).
According to him, the move by the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) might cause political tension in the country ahead of the elections.
The Daily Graphic Newspaper reported that EOCO is in a letter is asking Dr Nduom to explain the source of the over GHc1.7 million Cedis he used to pay for the filing fees of the parliamentary candidates of his party and his presidential filing fee at the Electoral Commission (EC).
The letter also stated that EOCO was interested in knowing how Ayariga claimed to have spent over $6 million dollars to procure vehicles, among others for his campaign.
The PPP has so far raised accusing fingers at the NDC over the development.
The APC has also described the move as ‘witch-hunting’.
In an interview with Radio Ghana, Prof Agyeman-Duah said he is not amazed that some members of the public see the development as witch-hunting though there is no evidence.
He argued that it would have been ideal if EOCO had asked all the political parties to disclose their sources of funding for the sake of fairness.
