Chairman of the opposition National Democratic Congress, Mr. Samuel Ofosu Ampofo has been given a bit of peaceful advice which if taken, will end all charges slashed against him by the court.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A private legal practitioner,\u00a0Mr. Gary Nimako Marfo has stated all charges against the NDC Chairman, could have been avoided.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Mr. Gary Nimako Marfo said if he were him [Ofosu-Ampofo], he would just admit his fault, apologise and move on.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen this issue started, my position has been consistent. If I were chairman, I would just apologise to Ghanaians to forgive me so we just move on because this issue has prolonged for far too long. Court issues are not easy and so apologising and admitting will just save him all the hustle,\u201d he told Accra based Okay FM, monitored by Adomonline.com.<\/p>\n

Mr. Marfo\u2019s comment follows a request by Mr. Ofosu-Ampofo to the High Court to strike out an audio recording presented as evidence of his alleged crime.<\/p>\n

His lawyer, Tony Lithur argued that Mr Ofosu-Ampofo\u2019s right to privacy had been breached.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
