Ernest Owusu-Bempah, Former Head of Corporate Communications at Ghana Gas Company, has vehemently denied rumors that he has fled Ghana for fear of prosecution.
A picture of Ernest Owusu-Bempah, an outspoken politician, surfaced on social media of him in the streets of New York. Some netizens claimed he had gone into hiding from the Operation Recover All Loot (ORAL) team, fearing prosecution over possible malfeasance during his tenure at Ghana Gas Company.
However, in an interview on Okay FM, Ernest Owusu-Bempah, also a Deputy National Communications Officer of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), categorically stated that he was not fleeing due to any wrongdoing but had travelled for personal reasons.
He added that he does not fear any law enforcement agency because he is clean, emphasizing that his whereabouts are nobody’s business.
“I have heard people saying that I have gone into hiding. Me? Going into hiding? Who do I fear? Were some of us not demonstrating against the NDC when they were in power? My whereabouts are nobody’s business. Was I not travelling before I entered government? Some Ghanaians must stop making reckless statements. People speak out of jealousy; some are narrow-minded. Was I not travelling out of Ghana when I was 17 years old? If I have my money and I choose to travel abroad, why should that concern anyone? Do I look like someone who would flee out of fear for his life?” Owusu Bempah fumed.
