Distinguished Ladies and Gentlemen of the Press
The Ministry of Finance and Development Planning (MFDP) categorically and emphatically disassociates itself from statements made by Mr. Abraham Bernard Waritay, Director of Communications & External Affairs at MFDP to Front Page Africa and other media outlets relative to the Mohammed Sambollah saga. Mr. Waritay's statements do not represent MFDP's position on the matter.
Let it also be known that we at the Ministry of Finance and Development Planning are very concerned and troubled by this morally reprehensible act and we support calls for the due process of the law to take its course.
In the meantime, let the word go forth that any action that debases the dignity of any human being, especially womanhood, is an act that we condemn in the strongest possible terms. The moral code with which we interact and operate as a civilized society cannot and should not allow such despicable behavior.
