A former Chief of Staff under the Kufour Administration, Kojo Mpiani has insisted that the current Nayele Ametefe cocaine scandal should not be politicized.<\/p>\n
According to him, it is wrong for the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to tag the Mahama administration with a cocaine label though the National Democratic Congress (NDC) did the same thing to them during Kufour\u2019s regime.<\/p>\n
