A former Deputy Minister of Tourism Joyce Bawa-Mogtari has said that her sister Otiko Afisa Djaba lied when she said Bawa-Mogtari was the cause of the rift between her (Otiko) and her mother.

“Otiko lied, I’m not responsible for the rift between her and our mother,”

The Minister of Gender Children and Social Protection Otiko Afisa Djaba earlier said that Bawa-Mogtari is the reason behind the rift between her (Otiko) and their mother.

The Minister of Gender, Children and Social Protection Otiko Afisa Djaba said Mrs Bawa-Mogtari just a week before the December 7 elections, planned with “strangers” and “packed all my things out of my mother’s home in Bole”.

“Strangers went and removed my things, so, I called my mum and I told her that: ‘You've evicted me from your house, you’ve evicted me from your life.’ And she apologised for allowing that to happen without my knowledge. So people out there, you don’t know my story, so, don’t use politics to go there.”

However, in an interview with Accra-based Starr FM Bawa-Mogtari said: “It is palpably false.”

“I refuse to reduce my public discourse to domestic issues that really have no place in our public lives.”

“Above all, nothing of this sort happened. Ever! Absolutely not! And certainly has nothing to do with"

Meanwhile, Otiko said she would not have brought family issues to the public if the NDC had not started it.

“I wouldn’t have brought this up had the NDC not been pestering me about my relationship with my mother. They packed all my things from my mother’s house, so, people must know my story before they get up and be asking me about my relationship with my mother.”
