Paul Yandoh, the Ashanti Regional Communications Director for the New Patriotic Party (NPP), has expressed deep concern over the deteriorating health condition of NPP Ashanti Regional

Chairman, Bernard Antwi Boasiako, popularly known as Chairman Wontumi. Yandoh’s concerns come amid growing worries over the politicization of state institutions and the selective application of the law.

Chairman Wontumi’s Health Condition

According to Yandoh, Chairman Wontumi is seriously ill, yet he is still being required to report to the Economic and Organized Crime Office (EOCO) every three days as part of his bail conditions. Yandoh described this treatment as unfair and excessive, noting that the freezing of Chairman Wontumi’s bank account and seizure of his excavators have further exacerbated his situation.

Call for Presidential Intervention

Yandoh has called on President John Dramani Mahama to intervene and ensure that the rule of law is applied fairly to all individuals, regardless of their party affiliations. Yandoh’s comments highlight the need for fairness and justice in the application of the law, particularly in cases involving high-profile individuals.

Politicization of State Institutions

Yandoh’s statement comes amid growing concerns over the politicization of state institutions and the selective application of the law. The NPP’s concerns over Chairman Wontumi’s treatment are likely to fuel the debate over the role of state institutions in Ghana’s politics.

Implications of the Situation

The situation has significant implications for the NPP and Ghana’s politics as a whole. If the party’s concerns are not addressed, it could lead to further polarization and mistrust in the country’s institutions. Yandoh’s call for presidential intervention highlights the need for leaders to ensure that the rule of law is applied fairly and impartially.

Paul Yandoh’s concerns over Chairman Wontumi’s health and treatment highlight the need for fairness and justice in the application of the law. The situation has significant implications for Ghana’s politics and institutions, and it remains to be seen how the government will respond to the NPP’s concerns.
