By Security Analyst Dr. Adam Bonaa has rejected the New Patriotic Party’s (NPP) assertion that the tape recording involving Attorney General Godfred Yeboah Dame and the third accused in the ambulance case, Richard Jakpa, has been tampered with.
He emphasized that the sequencing, tone, and various other aspects of the recording shared by the National Democratic Congress (NDC) demonstrate no evidence of tampering.
Speaking on PM Express on JoyNews, he said “Anyone who understands how bugging or recording is done knows this was a direct recording. When I say direct recording, there is very minimal noise, just like a normal telephone conversation. It was a P2P (peer-to-peer) recording, not where you call me, and I set up another recorder somewhere, put it on loudspeaker, and then use the third-party device to record.”
Dr Bonaa emphasised “So, it’s not doctored. If you listen to the sequencing, Jakpa Richard’s diction, (and) his tone, was constant. He sustained it. If you look at the pitch, he sustained that as well. And even with the AG, he spoke as if it was under his bed or somewhere, but also very sustained. Anyone who understands the way these things are done will tell you that this will not pass for a doctored tape.”
“So, the moment I record wouldn’t mean that the time frame in which we spoke would not be captured. The fact that we spoke for an hour, but I recorded you for 15 minutes, once I share it, it’s going to look as if there’s some missing puzzle there.”
“But like I’m saying, you can only detect that by looking at the sequence, and also some of these indicators, the elements I’ve given you, it doesn’t look like it’s doctored, and you cannot even link it to a third-party device recording,” the Security Analyst added.
