The Administrator of the Minerals Development Fund says she has no sympathy for former Awutu Senya MP Hawa Koomson after she was reportedly assaulted during the Ablekuma North rerun.
According to Dr Hannah Louisa Bissiw, she was once a victim of political violence allegedly orchestrated by Madam Koomson.
Speaking to the media while monitoring the rerun exercise at the Odorkor Methodist 1 polling station, she said, “My word to the very person who was attacked me, who brought thugs to attack me as a former member of Parliament during the Ayawaso West Wuogon by-election, she came with about 30 thugs to me, I was beaten,” she recounted.
“When the police managed to put me in their car, they chased me. What saved me from the moving car was my seatbelt.”
She continued by recounting further violence on that day. “The former MCE for Teshie tried to intervene, but he was beaten. His wife was beaten,” she said.
“She should advise herself and advise her own people. And let nobody point fingers at NDC because we didn’t do it.”
Responding to any suggestion that she should show sympathy for Koomson, she stated firmly, “Don’t ask me to feel sorry for Hawa Koomson because I will be lying before you and God. I don’t feel sorry one bit.”
She added, “I am a victim of Hawa Koomson. Ask her if I deserved the men that she brought to come and attack me. Ask her about the people they shot and killed at Kasoa, and the organiser who died. Go and ask her the gun that she shot and people died, did they deserve it?”
She also recalled the physical abuse she faced. “And ask Hawa Koomson about the slaps that they gave me when they were pulling me out of my moving vehicle to continue beating me. Ask Hawa Koomson, did I deserve it?”
