Mzbel’s Son Not My Child – Kofi Amoabeng

Award winning banker, Prince Kofi Amoabeng, has denied being the father of   the young son of celebrated songstress, Mzbel.

“It is not true I have a kid with Mzbel”. Mr. Amoabeng disclosed in an interview on Joy FM's personality profile with Lexis Bill but was quick to describe the sexy musician as a “very good person with a very nice personality” and that they were “very close” friends.

The undisclosed paternity of Mzbel’s young child has remained a topical subject in media circles after she published his photographs on social media and simply gave his name as ‘Aaron’.

The Ghanaian media has tried without effort to reveal the identity of  Aaron’s father  while  Mzbel has maintained zipped lips over the matter.

Kofi Amoabeng is one of the few names heavily speculated as potential fathers for Mzbel’s son and this is the first time he is speaking publicly on the matter during the Joy Fm interview which touched on his marital life, career, leadership and Ghana’s economy.

Mzbel herself in time past had denied as false reports she was dating Kofi Amoabeng when Peace Fm’s Kwesi Aboagye asked her the question.

“No it’s not true; I’m not dating the boss of any loan company. I really wish I was dating someone like that, because I’m sure he would have helped me with a loan for my musical career…He is a very close friend…He was one of the numerous philanthropists and good Samaritans who came to my aid when I was in crisis,” Mzbel noted.

Perhaps, it would not take long for Aaron to grow to reach school going age then the media would know his surname as the first major clue to guessing who his dad may be.

CPP Bosses Sacked

By Hakifax Ansah-Addo
Monday August 16, 2010

TWO ELECTED National Executive officers of the Convention People’s Party (CPP) have been sacked from the party over statements they made that were rather embarrassing to the National Democratic Congress (NDC) government in respect of the Kosmos Energy and the STX Korea Housing deal.

The CPP has accordingly issued a categorical statement that party’s General Secretary Ivor Greenstreet and its National Youth Organizer, Kwabena Bomfeh, have been deposed and they “cease with immediate effect to act as Secretary General and Youth organizer respectively.”

The dismissal letter was signed by the party’s first national vice chairman, Dr. Abu Sakara, after the party’s central committee held an emergency meeting last Thursday over the two national officers.

According to the statement, Greenstreet and Bomfeh had also been referred to the party’s disciplinary committee to answer charges of conducts that were deemed to have brought the image of the party into disrepute contrary to Article 77 (a) (ii) of the CPP’s constitution.

It added that pending the outcome of the disciplinary committee, the CPP would have nothing to do with the two elected national officers.

The statement noted that “the central committee wishes to assert the authority vested in the chairman of the party as the ultimate spokesperson and representative of the party superseding all other members in all matters.

“It also cautions all CPP party members that the central committee will not countenance any challenge to the authority of the chairman and leadership outside of laid down internal procedures of discussion and debate in appropriate forum within the party.”

Meanwhile, party Chairman Ladi Nylander, on August 2, 2010, issued a similar press statement regarding Greenstreet and Bomfeh, warning the two that “the party would not tolerate the use of its name to champion personal interests that are not consistent with nor officially approved as party position.”

Nylander, in his statement, said: “the two have recently made statements or taken actions that have been carried in the media as official positions and actions of the party.

“CPP wishes to state most categorically that the statements and actions of the two members of our executive relating to the STX matter and Kosmos Energy are their personal positions and do not in any way represent officially approved positions of the Party.

“The Convention People’s Party (CPP) wishes to distance itself vigorously from recent personal actions by General Secretary Ivor Greenstreet and National Youth Organizer Kwabena Bomfeh,” Nylander noted.

The two sacked officers, who have recently been critical of government over the manner it handled the $1.5bilion STX housing deal, could not be reached for their comments as at press time.
