The incumbent National Democratic Congress, NDC, has described as a blatant lie, allegations that it masterminded the stealing of the counter-petition booklet against the release of the Montie 3, from the premises of Progressive People’s party, PPP.

The PPP earlier told Citi News that one of the three  booklets containing about one thousand seven hundred signatures, was stolen by some persons who were at the party’s headquarters on Tuesday.

The PPP’s Communications Director, Paa Kow Ackon, blamed  the NDC  for the act. But reacting to the accusation leveled  against  the NDC, the  National  Communications  officer for the party , Solomon Nkansah,  lashed out  at the PPP and described  the party  as being  irresponsible.

“It  is a matter  of  irresponsibility and  the  party (PPP)  is simply  disorganized”.

Solomon Nkansah added that “the PPP just lacks  focus  and is simply  irresponsible.  We won’t allow them to drag us to their level “

The sentencing of Godwin Ako Gunn,  Alistair  Nelson, and Salifu  Maase known as the Montie trio, to a four-month jail term for contempt, has  been received with mixed reactions.

Members of the incumbent party and other ministers  of state have signed and forwarded a petition to the Council of State to persuade President Mahama to pardon the Montie trio.

A former Attorney General and Minister of Justice, Martin Amidu, has also described as unconstitutional, the procedure used  by the Supreme Court in jailing the Montie FM trio.
