The Ashanti Regional Communications Director of the New Patriotic Party (NPP), Paul Yandoh, has sparked controversy with a blunt response to calls surrounding the detention of former GIHOC Distilleries boss Maxwell Kofi Jumah.
Reacting to the situation, Yandoh stated that the party and government do not have “GH¢550 billion” to secure bail, adding that Raymond Archer can “keep him till eternity” if that is what the situation demands.
His comments come amid ongoing public discussions about accountability, financial impropriety, and the legal processes involving former public officials.
The remark, widely circulated on social media, has drawn mixed reactions. Supporters see it as a strong stance on accountability and a refusal to shield individuals accused of wrongdoing, while critics argue that the tone undermines the principle of due process and presumption of innocence.
The case involving Maxwell Kofi Jumah has already attracted national attention, with many Ghanaians closely following developments and expecting transparency in how the matter is handled.
Observers say the statement reflects the increasingly charged political atmosphere, where issues of corruption, justice, and governance continue to dominate public discourse.
As legal proceedings unfold, attention will remain on how authorities balance enforcement with fairness, while political actors continue to weigh in with strong and often polarising views.
