The former Member of Parliament for Gomoa Central, Rachel Appoh, is claiming that she was assaulted at the Flagstaff on Friday when she went there to follow up on her ex-gratia.
“I was following up on my ex gratia so I went to Flagstaff House and I was directed by the Ministry of Finance to go to the Chief of Staff’s office so I wrote a letter and sent it to the Chief of staff’s office," she narrated the incident in an interview Citi FM.
She continued: "I was there and I realized that three women were verbally assaulting my secretary all because she had the NDC rubber band on her wrist… I later entered and I heard them say ‘This is Rachel Appoh’ and immediately they heard I am Rachel Appoh, they started verbally assaulting me. They were pushing me and someone held my right hand and was like ‘walk out , walk out this is not party office’.”
“One of the women, Aunty Naomi, asked me to leave the country if I can’t stay, and I told them I am not leaving the country today or tomorrow."
Appoh further said she has a healthy relationship with the president, wondering why she would be subjected to abuse.
“The President came to my constituency two months to election. When people were greeting the President, he was seated, but when he got there he hugged me. I want to tell every NPP person that they do not know Nana Addo more than me. “
The latest attack at the Flagstaff House follows a similar on ASP Nanka Bruce by the Invincible Forces and an attack on the Ashanti Regional Security Coordinator by the Delta Force in Kumasi.
