Some National Democratic Congress (NDC) supporters in the Ho Central constituency of the Volta Region are accusing their Chairman, Divine Feg Afedo of engaging in fraudulent acts and creating disaffection for the party in the constituency.
In a petition addressed to the Regional chairman, two members of the party, Mohammed Isaka and Joseph Attor, accused Mr Afedo of embezzling funds meant for party activities and defrauding unsuspecting citizens, promising them nonexistent jobs at the Ghana Education Service.

It further said, “…there are allegations that he extorts money from party members with the promise of securing them with teaching appointment taking between GH¢ 500.00 to GH¢ 1,000.00 from his unsuspecting victims who later gets to know and are left to their fate but waiting to reject the party should he surfaced.”
The petitioners say, the conduct of the Mr Feg Afedo if care is not taken would affect the party’s fortunes in the 2016 elections.
Meanwhile Mr Afedo denied the allegations when Citi News contacted him.
He says has been transparent and accountable to his church and the NDC party in all his dealings. According to him, he has never received money from any individual with the promise of securing his/her a job.
He added the allegations are unfounded and are obvious schemes by his political opponents to taint his hard earned reputation into disrepute.
