COP Alex Mensah denies cash influence allegations, points to IGP driver’s role in Bekwai NPP Primaries

COP George Alex Mensah (Rtd), aspiring New Patriotic Party (NPP) MP for the Bekwai Constituency has vehemently denied allegations linking Vice President Dr Mahamudu Bawumia to cash influence ahead of the party’s parliamentary primaries.

He has also described the allegations as the work of “unscrupulous persons” attempting to tarnish his candidacy and manipulate the political landscape leading up to the 27th primaries.

In a statement, COP Mensah clarified that the claim was part of an audio recording capturing an interaction between assigns from the office of Ghana’s Inspector General of Police (IGP).

The document further details how the IGP’s driver, Inspector Kwakye allegedly campaigned against him, using the name of the Vice President, and influenced the delegates with cash.
