National Communications Director of the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Sammy Gyamfi has accused the Akufo-Addo led government of engaging in an “illegal espionage.”

According to Sammy Gyamfi, the leaked tape purported to be the voice of the National Chairman of the NDC, Samuel Ofosu Ampofo were doctored by the ruling NPP government.

In the audio, a voice believed to be that of Mr Ofosu Ampofo is heard telling party communicators to take the Chairperson of the Electoral Commission, Jean Mensa to the cleaners.

He is also heard saying he endorses verbal attacks on the Peace Council Chairman, Professor Emmanuel Asante.

All this is in the wake of the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election violence, which is currently the subject of a commission of enquiry probe.

Speaking in reaction to the recordings which has gone viral, Mr. Gyamfi said the said tapes were attained illegally by government after they planted bugs in the offices of some prominent members of the opposition party.

“A few months ago, they broke into the private offices of a senior member of the NDC, Ato Ahwoi. A few weeks ago, we discovered that some of our offices had been bugged. Those offices were swept, and we identified bugs.”

“We received a lot of intelligence from people in the media and people and the security agencies that they are spying on us and we are still investigating the matter, and very soon, we will bring the facts out.”

Though Mr. Gyamfi did not confirm or deny the identity of the person in the voice, he implied that the recording was from an NDC meeting but he insisted that it had been doctored.

“The tapes being circulated are doctored because they are not representative of the accurate proceedings of the said meeting. The things on the tape have not been uttered our chairman at any of our national communication’s meetings.”
