Nothing wrong with Akufo-Addo's drone/guinea fowls comparison - Wontumi's aide

An aide to the Ashanti Regional Chairman of the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Mr. Andy Owusu has given President Akufo-Addo a thumbs up for the subtle jab at members of the opposition parties in the recent media encounter with some select journalists at the seat of government; Flagstaff House a fortnight ago.

"The President was right to say he prefers drones flying to deliver essential medicines to our people than an investment in guinea fowls that allegedly fly off to Burkina Faso without any trace," the spokesperson of Mr. Bernard Antwi Bosiako said.

"I see nothing wrong and offensive here", the young politician spoke on local radio stations in Kumasi monitored Kwabena Danso-Dapaah.

The president Nana Akufo-Addo has taken a jab at members of the opposition National Democratic Congress who have been vehement in their criticism of the drone deliveries for emergency health services.

According to him, the drone health service delivery which has been heavily criticized will serve over 14 million people and save human lives in the process, an investment he insisted was far better and important than the decision of his predecessor to invest in Guinea fowls under the Savanna Accelerated Development Authority (SADA).

“I prefer drones flying to deliver essential medicines to our people than an investment in guinea fowls that allegedly fly off to Burkina Faso without any trace,” President Akufo-Addo said, which is a direct attack on the record of ex-president John Mahama, under whose tenure the infamous guinea fowl scandal was recorded.
