The Director of Communication of the opposition New Patriotic Party, Nana Akomea, says the instability and wrangling going on in the Mills-led administration is casting a slur on the reputation and integrity of the country on the international front.
According to Nana Akomea, the government’s communication machinery should stop accusingt the NPP’s flagbearer, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo of carrying bad news about the country to the rest of the world and rather find ways of solving their problems.
The Communication Director, who is also the Member of Parliament (MP) for Okaikoi South was reacting to allegations leveled against the NPP flagbearer by a Deputy Minister for Information, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa that Nana Addo is lying to world that Ghana is in state of leadership paralysis under President Mills.
Speaking on Citi FM, an Accra-based private radio station, Nana Akomea said the Atta Mills-Mahama government should rather conduct a self-analysis and stop the blame game. In addressing a gathering far away Texas in the United State of America, the NPP’s flagbearer stated that the NDC government does not need even a minute after its first four year term the people and the Constitution granted them because the era of leadership paralysis must not exist again. He added that there should a change to move the Ghana forward and there cannot be four more wasted years under the NDC government of lies, propaganda, hypocrisy, incompetence, corruption and economic hardships. This was in response to the Woyome scandal that has rocked the NDC government which President Mills told Ghanaians that he knew nothing about it but was later exposed by the EOCO findings that he twice sto pped the payment of GH51 million to Mr. Alfred AbgesiWoyome as judgment debt.
Commenting on the issue of the former Attorney General (A-G), Mrs. Betty Mould-Iddrisu appearing before the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) last Friday on the judgment debt of 94 million Euros paid to Construction Pioneers, the Communication Director of the biggest opposition party, NPP said the former A-G should be given the benefit of the doubt and come another time.
He said the committee should have told her their purpose of inviting her so that she would get all the necessary documents she needed to help the committee to do a good work for Ghanaians.
"I was a little surprised when she said she needed to go back and get the documents but let’s give her the benefit of the doubt, it is early days yet, the committee is still sitting in public so all of us will know what is going blow by blow", he ended.
