Could it be a case of sacrificing a weak and innocent lamb to appease an angry and besieged god? …\u201d<\/p>\n
He was however quick to add that, \u201cwe are too strong for any god to devour. In truth,this is not the way my Board should exit NACOB.”<\/p>\n
According to him, the Board has not done anything untoward \u00a0to merit a dissolution.<\/p>\n
Mr. Assasie-Gyimah said government\u2019s decision to dissolve the board affects the \u201chard won integrity and reputation of the individual members of the Board who have striven at great sacrifices to put NACOB on an even keel.\u201d<\/p>\n
Defending his claim on Eyewitness News<\/strong>, Mr. Gyimah maintained\u201cthat there was no reason why the Board should be dissolved ,especially coming after the seizure of drugs in London, and I think it is a huge mistake.\u201d<\/p>\nMr. Assasie-Gyimah further dismissed claims by the Minister of Communication, Omane Boamah that NACOB did not collaborate with the United Kingdom to arrest Nayele, saying \u201che cannot say that NACOB lied, he did not have any basis to say that.\u201d<\/p>\n
He insisted that the government officials who were accusing NACOB had not even called to inquire the involvement of NACOB in the arrest before attempting to discredit their claims.<\/p>\n
He said the statement issued by the Deputy Executive Secretary of NACOB, indicating that there was collaborative effort between NACOB and its British partners cannot be \u201cdoubted.\u201d<\/p>\n
