Freddie Blay should resign immediately – Yaa Jantuah
CPP General Secretary Nana Yaa Jantuah has ordered former NPP Chairman Freddie Blay to resign as GNPC board chairman immediately (GNPC).
She claimed Blay had to depart because his law company represented Aisha Huang, who is suspected of conducting an illegal small-scale mining network.
Huang is being prosecuted by the government, which Blay is a part of.
Speaking in a TV3 interview monitored by Ghana Web, Jantuah berated Freddie Blay for defending Aisha Huang’s accomplices
He said again that what the former head of the NPP did was unethical and a clear case of a conflict of interest.

“This man is part of the NPP government and is in charge of an organization. His law firm is defending galamsey.” What are they trying to do? Is it just for fun?
“I thought he had left GNPC, but he is still there. If you are the chair of the board, you are not part of GNPC. Instead, you are a part of the government. People in government become board chairmen because it is assumed and thought that they agree with what the government in power wants to do. That’s why they put them there: to run the board as chairman.
“You work for the government, and your company is defending a government that the president of this country has put his job on the line to stop. I think he should step down as the head of the GNPC board. I don’t know why he’s still there, because it’s a conflict of interest. She told him, “You can have your cake and eat it too.”
She said that it makes her very sad that a member of the government backs something that kills Ghanaians and hurts the country’s land and water.
The former head of the NPP, Freddie Blay, has gotten a lot of criticism after it came out that he is the main lawyer for Huang’s four co-defendants in a galamsey case.
Lucy Ekeleba Blay, a private lawyer, told the court on Tuesday (October 11) that she was representing Freddie Blay in the case of Gao Jin Cheng, Lu Qi Jun, Haibin Go, and Zhang Zhipeng, who were also involved in the crime.
