General News of Wednesday, 6 June 2018Source: kasapafmonline.comBawumia never begged for funds in China – Horace AnkrahGhana's Former Deputy Ambassador to China, Horace Nii AnkrahFormer Ghana’s deputy Ambassador to China during the John Mahama administration, Ambassador Horace Nii Ankrah has denied media reports that Vice President Alhaji Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia led a team of New Patriotic Party (NPP) members to beg for campaign funds in China ahead of the 2016 general election. But speaking to host Akwasi Nsiah on Si Mi So on Kasapa FM, Ambassador Horace Nii Ankrah stated that his independent investigation revealed that Dr Bawumia rather gave out a gift. “I never heard nor saw Bawumia begging for money in China, what I realized from my small investigation is that on that particular occasion Bawumia and his team rather presented gifts to the Chinese and not that they were begging. You could see clearly from the pictures that Bawumia was not begging. Politicians and political parties always seek funding for their activities and so if Bawumia were to solicit for funds it wouldn’t have been new.
