The integrity of Ntim Fordjour, Member of Parliament for Assin South and Ranking Member of Parliament’s Defence and Interior Committee, has been severely compromised amidst allegations of money laundering and cocaine trafficking.
Ntim Fordjour’s claims linking two foreign aircraft to cocaine trafficking activities in Ghana have fueled intense reactions from Ghanaians, yet he has failed to substantiate these assertions with concrete evidence.
Many Ghanaians have dismissed his allegations as baseless and lacking verifiable proof, calling for his resignation as an MP.
The absence of tangible evidence has raised questions about Ntim Fordjour’s credibility and motives, casting a shadow over his ability to effectively represent the people of Assin South.
Ntim Fordjour’s silence on the matter has further fueled skepticism, suggesting that his claims may be nothing more than unfounded rhetoric.
His reputation has been tarnished, deterring potential investors from engaging in business ventures in Assin South.
University students in the constituency have expressed their disappointment, arguing that Fordjour’s actions do not warrant his position as an MP.
The title “Reverend,” associated with his name, has also come under scrutiny, with many questioning the alignment of his actions with the values of his church.
To separate the truth from the falsehood, Ntim Fordjour’s ascent to the throne as MP for Assin South has been marred by controversy within the people in the area, with allegations of presenting fake checks to delegates prior to the NPP’s parliamentary primaries in 2016. This act, vividly suggests that his election was built on deceit and fraudulent means. Such allegations have since raised questions about his legitimacy and credibility as a lawmaker, with many wondering if his actions in Parliament are guided by a commitment to the people or a desire to cover up his own questionable past.
Recent developments have further dented Fordjour’s reputation. He has been allegedly dragged before the Police CID over a GHC600,000 contra fraud case, where he and another individual are accused of defrauding a person under the pretext of securing a government contract. Surprisingly, he is embroiled in a defamation suit filed by South Dayi MP, Rockson Nelson Dafeamekpor, after Fordjour made unsubstantiated claims of bribery against him.

The people of Assin South deserve better representation, and it remains to be seen whether Fordjour can redeem himself or if his constituents will seek to replace him.
