Captain Smart exposed !!!Hon Francis Asenso Boakye Responds to Captain Smarts false claims

 *RESPONSE TO FALSE CLAIMS BY CAPTAIN SMART*


Accra - 29th August, 2022 – 

I have had the opportunity to watch a video in which Captain Smart mentioned my name on the “Maakye” morning show

on Accra-based Onua TV, in relation to a matter concerning a Ghanaian firm, 

Labianca Company Limited and the Ghana Revenue Authority (GRA), and 

further alleged that I interfered in the transfer of one Mr. Adubufour, a 

Customs officer stationed at the Tema Harbour, despite a recommendation

made by a disciplinary committee. 


It is deeply regrettable that he chose to misrepresent the facts in a vile attempt to besmirch my hard won reputation. 


The claims made by Captain 

Smart are false and without merit, and as a journalist, I was expecting him 

to conduct his work with the highest standard of integrity and truthfulness, 

much as is expected of all public servants and anyone seeking to promote 

good governance in the national interest. 

I take the liberty to reproduce the facts as faithfully conveyed to him when 

we last spoke on this matter as follows: 

1. Sometime in 2018, as deputy Chief of Staff at the Office of the 

President, I received a phone call from some elders of my local community, 

Bantama, informing me of a proposed transfer of *Mr. Adubufour*, who felt 

was unfairly targeted for the dutiful performance of his functions as a 

Customs officer.


I called the then Customs Boss to ascertain the veracity of the 

claim. He denied any such transfer was being considered. 


I conveyed this feedback to the elders and took no further 

interest in the matter.

At no time in the course of my conversation with the Customs Boss or Captain 

Smart was I made aware of any disciplinary committee recommendation to 

transfer Mr. Adubofuor as was stated on by Captain Smart on his TV programme. Neither, did I exert any undue influence on the Customs Boss 

to maintain Mr.Adubofour, an authority I simply did not have, even if, indeed, he was to be transferred. 

In light of the above, I have instructed my lawyers to write to Captain Smart 

demanding a retraction and an apology. I trust this will be done with dispatch 

and given equal prominence as with the false assertion made on his show. 


At all times in the discharge of my duties to our beloved country, I have 

operated with the highest standards of ethics and integrity and in full 

compliance with the law.


SIGNED

*FRANCIS ASENSO-BOAKYE (MP)*
