When we formed the Committee for Joint Action and we were going to hold our first Press Conference, we had to decide on who to read that statement. I made a point at the meeting that Omane Boamah is quite an articulate young man and that he was the President of the National Union of Ghana Students (NUGS), he was a card bearing member of the New Patriotic Party but had problems with the government on account of GetFund and that if you could get him to read that thing it gives us a broad National appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It took about two days to trace Omane Boamah to come and read that statement. So, the first Press Conference statement was read by Omane Boamah. That\u2019s how Omane Boamah joined the CJA and eventually became an activist of the National Democratic Congress. I know him very well.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He described Felix Ofosu Kwaky, Okudzeto Ablakwa and Dr Omane Boamah as some of the most intelligent young men he has met in politics touting their eloquence indicating that he will be surprised that someone will say they were recruited as attack dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Source:\u00a0MyNewsGh.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Veteran Journalist, Kwesi Pratt has debunked the assertions that Edward Omane Boamah and other young National Democratic Congress (NDC) were recruited to attack Jerry John Rawlings.
