Derrick Ohene Bekoe, the Member of Parliament for Upper West Akim in the Eastern Region has urged the government to look within when investigating the circumstances leading to the destruction of a GRIDCo pylon in Tema.
 
According to him, the impression being created that saboteurs of this government have deliberately caused the collapse of ths pylon sounds too credible to believe.
 
“I am saddened about the fact that some communicators of the NPP are casting insinuations and we understand what they are attempting to do. They want to point accusing fingers at the NDC, but I want them to know that in politics, one can harm oneself just for public sympathy,” Hon. Bekoe said on UTV’s 'Adekye Nsroma' programme.
 
The Upper West Akim Lawmaker further advised the government and its communicators to desist from pointing fingers at the NDC unnecessarily while investigations are still ongoing.
 
“ . . the government must not proceed in that tangent because in this multiparty politics we are practicing, when things are not going well for a government as we are seeing, it can turn around and create negative news just for public sympathy,” he added.
 
These comments come on the heels of an assertion made by Hon. Peter Amewu, the Minister of Energy, after discovering that the Tema power transmission lines were hacked down by the use of some corrosive chemicals.
 
Meanwhile, an internal committee has been set up by management of GRIDCO to begin investigations into the alleged hacking down of the pylon.
 
The Bureau of National Investigations and the Police Service have also commenced investigations into what the Minister of Energy believes is a deliberate destruction of power transmission lines of the Ghana Grid Company in Tema by saboteurs who would want to plunge the nation into darkness.
 
But Hon. Derrick Bekoe wants Minister and Government Communicators to channel their energy into finding the culprits rather than pointing accusing fingers at the biggest opposition party.
