As we speak we have some NDC Executives who are on his payroll. He pays them, he services them\u2026he does so many things for them. Some of them are holding enviable positions in the party and Wontumi is taking care of them.

To me NPP has gotten a very good Chairman who understands what he is doing. A very workable Chairman who is toiling for his party\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He cautioned the NDC against downplaying any move by the NPP executive as it has the potential as spelling their doom in the region if they fail to tread cautiously.<\/p>\n<p>Asked by host Kwame Adinkra why he has refused to allow his name be put on the payroll of Chairman Wontumi, he responded\u201d I am dealing with principles but others are dealing with money. I have not seen such money but even if you give me such money I will spend and do what is expected of me. If Wontumi said he says he has used money to influence NDC elections then it is true.
