*PCD CONDEMNS KWESI BLAY OVER BLATANT LIES AGAINST BARBARA OTENG GYASI, CHALLENGES HIM TO PROVIDE EVIDENCE* .*
The leadership of Prestea Communicators for Development (PCD), a leading youth group in Prestea in the Western Region wishes to condemn the former MP, Mr. Kwesi Blay for blatant lies churned to the public which has greatly tarnished the image of Hon. Lawyer Barbara Oteng Gyasi.
On 16/01/2024, Mr. Kwesi Blay was interviewed on Asomdwe FM in Prestea concerning the ailing Future Gold Resources(FGR) Mine (Formerly Golden Star Bogoso/Prestea Mine). To the shocking of the public, Mr. Kwesi Blay stated emphatically, that, “ Barbara Oteng Gyasi has brought people to purchase the tailings of FGR, a company that is in need”. This pronouncement has greatly dented the image of the former MP. On 17/01/2024, Hon. Barbara Oteng Gyasi also granted interview on the same station, which she stated that, “ am not part of FGR management, how can I sell their tailings? I am challenging the former MP to provide evidence, else I will sue him’.
We at Prestea Communicators for Development (PCD) believe that, FGR holds the economy of Prestea, and issues surrounding the mines should be dealt with with honesty. We are therefore adding our voice to the call, that, Mr. Kwesi Blay, as a matter of urgency make his evidence available to the good people of Prestea. We call on him to come and apologize to the whole Prestea community, if indeed, he knew he was dishonest, and also apologize to Hon. Barbara Oteng Gyasi.
This year being election year, politics in Prestea should be based on what you can do to help our development, and such irresponsible behaviours exhibited by Mr. Kwesi Blay must never be tolerated on our radio stations and public platforms.
