accused government of sponsoring the raid<\/a><\/strong><\/span> to portray the NPP as a violent party.<\/p>\n\u201cOur findings so far suggest that what happened on Monday was a wickedly orchestrated attempt to tempt this office into a bloodbath and with one aim only to score political points against the country\u2019s largest opposition party as we draw closer to the next general elections. After a careful review of the invasion, evidence and subsequent events till date, the NPP is in no doubt that the attack on our offices was conducted by the state specifically using certain rogue element within the national security set up in full collaboration with some identifiable individuals now bent on destroying the fortunes of the party,” Freddie Blay added.<\/p>\n
However, a statement signed by the Minister of Communications, Omane Boamah said the claims by the NPP \u201cis a deliberate fabrication\u2026at shifting blame for the horrendous leadership it has had leading to its rapid descent into chaos, violence, lawlessness, brutal killings and total confusion over the last year or so.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are aware that the NPP routinely dabbles in anti-government \u00a0propaganda of the most undesirable kind, but this latest falsehood against government marks a new low in the party\u2019s resort to outright untruths to pursue its objectives. As it is to be expected, they have once again failed to provide a scintilla of evidence to back these.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Minister further said the Police are investigating the matter and called on the \u201cNPP to cooperate with the Police in this regard and desist from the ridiculous gambit of blaming others for their woes.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGovernment also urges the leadership of the NPP to end their total abdication of responsibility and take steps to halt the internecine feud that has left the party in shambles. The persistent bickering, open brawls and violent attacks within the party has the potential to undermine public safety and security,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
