Founder of the People’s National Party (PNP), Janet Nabla, has strongly criticised pressure group Arise Ghana following its protest at the United States Embassy, questioning the group’s credibility and accusing it of pursuing partisan interests rather than genuinely fighting corruption.
Speaking in reaction to the protest and the ongoing discussions surrounding the detention and possible extradition of former Finance Minister Ken Ofori-Atta, on ABC In The Morning, Wednesday, January, 21, 2026, Janet Nabla accused Arise Ghana of pursuing partisan interests rather than national concerns.
“Arise Ghana has no integrity. They have no credibility and they are not fighting corruption,” she stated, insisting that the group’s actions are politically motivated. According to the founder of PNP, Arise Ghana is “fighting for the NDC and not Ghana,” She said.
Commenting on the protest staged at the U.S. Embassy, the PNP founder strongly criticized the choice of venue and the conduct of the demonstrators. In a controversial remark, she said, “If I were the Consulate of the American Embassy, I would release dogs to chase them out of that place,” arguing that the protest was inappropriate and an embarrassment to the country.
Janet Nabla further suggested that the former finance minister could be tried without being physically present in Ghana, citing international legal precedents. “Ken Ofori-Atta could be tried in absentia and virtually, like he was tried in the U.S.,” she said.
She also accused the current NDC government of pursuing a personal vendetta rather than justice. According to her, “The NDC government is looking for the head of Ken Ofori-Atta, not the crimes he has committed.”
In her strongest criticism yet, the PNP founder described the ruling party as grossly ineffective in governance, stating, “I am seeing the NDC as being one of the most incompetent political parties this country has ever encountered.”
The comments come amid heightened political tension over the international legal dimensions of the Ofori-Atta case, as debates continue over extradition procedures and the appropriate legal steps available to the state.
