Unwarranted attacks from Education Minister

It will interest readers to know, that some of us are very serious and anxious about the kind of in-fighting that goes on within the party, and the interest on some selfish MPs and some Ministers to protect their own without caring for us the Youth. We even have Graduate Youth Unemployed Association, so many people in the youthful bracket that have no jobs, and we belong to this party and for us to make progress, we have to protect leadership that will move us forward.

One of the most important persons in this category is Dr. Kwame Amoako Tuffuor. When he is attacked, we feel attacked and we have to respond. The information gathered here is by no means connected with him. Some of us carefully asked him about few comments on what was raised in this article, and we got the answers we needed. We trust him, we respect him and we are learning a lot from him, which is what is going to guide us in the future. So, we are throwing the first warning, that anybody, be you a senior or junior person who attacks anybody, not Dr. Tuffuor alone, anybody in an uncivilized manner and gets it to the public is enemy of the people. They don’t want us to come back to power because they have already gained their selfish interest and now, they are guarding their centre and make sure that, those who can criticize them, attack them, crack the whip are put aside by attacking and defaming those Seniors, so they will not come forward and discipline those who are going to block our chances for the future.

This is the topic that we have done our research on “WHAT HAS NAPO DONE TO DR. AMOAKO TUFFUOR?” it is rather “WHAT DR. AMOAKO TUFFUOR HAS DONE TO NAPO?” that should be questioned. We will break all the answers down. This topic appeared in one of the tabloids. We will site the various points that were raised and answer them.

It is NAPO that is upset about what Amoako Tuffuor is thinking, because NAPO’s Chairman who was interested for re-election at Manhyia South, organized with NAPO to disqualify a potential candidate and when it came to the disciplinary committee that Dr. Tuffuor was Chairman, Dr. Tuffuor dismissed it and said everybody should be able to contest and let the people decide. NAPO then went back and decided to go and take a rubber bucket, pieces of paper, gave them to some few people to vote for his man. He became the Electoral Commissioner and organized the election. This thing has been haunting him. He doesn’t know whether Amoako Tuffuor is going to raise this in other places, but this we believe is the genesis of the attacks that came into this news article.

ATTACK POINTS RAISED IN THE ARTICLE;

For some reasons our initial encouragement incentive is the person of Mr Danso Gyamena who the Minister of Education Matthew Opoku Prempeh (NAPO) has used to write a very derogatory set of remarks against one of our founding fathers of this party. For this reason we have done our research and we are going to answer the questions and won’t even allow discussions back and forth between Dr. Amoako Tuffuor and the Hon. Matthew Opoku Prempeh (NAPO), we take it upon ourselves to give the public the right information.

• The article deemed Dr Amoako Tuffuor as “the then respected National Coordinator of the School Feeding Programme” under the former President Kuffour’s regime.

To set the records straight, Dr Amoako Tuffuor initiated and started the landmark School Feeding Programme. Dr Amoako Tuffuor is the brain behind the School Feeding Programme; he brought School Feeding to Ghana and was the first executive officer. It is an effort most are jealous of because not so many people have been able to initiate an idea to be suddenly well-recognised, appreciated and successful. This remarkable feat has earned him awards from World Food Program, UNFAO etc. and has been honoured for setting up the African Network for School Feeding Programme which is still operating.

• The article suggest Dr. Tuffuor is the brain behind a group called Association of Patriotic Ghanaians to solicit for the Chief of Staff position and will later claim to have won the party the election by selling his house.

This is a pure lie. Dr. Tuffuor has never gone public to solicit for the Chief of Staff position. It is rather many many party people around the country who know of Dr. Tuffuor’s organisational and planning abilities, and tough stance to hold the centre for the party and government. We know him as a caring person with abilities to find solutions to many problems - especially jobs, and political issues.

• The article also claimed, Dr. Tuffuor started to hate the president and strangely targeted top, hardworking and influential Ashantis in this administration.

This is preposterous. Oh ho! How infantile can NAPO be? Dr. Amoako Tuffuor has been through thick and thin with the President for about 50years. They like each other. Nobody can bring wedge between the President and Dr. Amoako Tuffuor. NAPO obviously wants to destroy the beautiful relationship between him and Ashantis – What for? NAPO is going round fomenting this agenda. NAPO is dangerous for society.

• It continued to say Dr Amoako Tuffuor was busy destroying the Educational Minister and also working closely with one Kelvin Taylor to bring the government down.

We asked him what he thought of the Education Minister. He paused and sadly remarked that, NAPO did not learn anything from his father or grandfathers.

Kelvin Taylor? Dr. Amoako Tuffuor has never met Kelvin Taylor, neither has he ever spoken to him. God should punish whoever is lying to destroy others.

• The article went on to state that Dr Amoako Tuffuor sponsored the media with misinformation about the fall of armyworm to make the Minister look incompetent.

That Minister is a friend and relative of Dr. Amoako Tuffuor. When asked about his accusation, he laughed and remarked how stupid some people can be when they want to lie. He asked “Does that Minister manufacture armyworms?”

• More so, by calling Dr a selfish individual who needed to stop thwarting the human capital (NAPO) of the party and again indicated that Dr deceived the party on the issue of Kwabena Agyei Agyapong.

He remarked, “Has NAPO got what it takes to consider himself so seriously?” He has led a ministry with too many problems created by him.

Dr. Amoako Tuffuor has never been a member of the Disciplinary Committee that tried Kwabena Agyei Agyapong. Facts are there. The party has records and Kwabena Agyapong himself should know the people on the panel!

NAPO is a bad liar and incapable of creating a sensible lie that can stick. SHAME!!

• The article ended by claiming Dr Amoako Tuffuor had ill intents in the Ashanti Region trying to pitch the youth against NAPO.

Some of us in this Committee for the Progressive Youth, that happen to be Ashantis know who Dr. Amoako Tuffuor is. He is loved by Ashantis, PERIOD! He is respectful, kind, wise, and willing to train the youth.

He does not think NAPO matters, and why does NAPO belittle the intelligence of the Ashanti Youth. They know and can think for themselves.

Since some of us don’t want to be used for this purpose and we want the future of our party to be on a straight forward line of action, we have resolved to;

1. To expose our grown up politicians who try to use the youth to further their political career without giving our democratic dispensation the right to choose who is right to go where.

2. We realise that the more some of these selfish politicians act or use us they bring the party in the open and we find that the elders and people behind the party keep attacking each other. And our opponent pick up issues that they can use to criminalise us or campaign against us when the time arise.

DR. MATTHEW OPOKU PREMPEH A.K.A NAPO

It is important to note who Matthew Opoku Prempeh really is. The current Minister of Education is leaving a mark of less answers to more prevailing questions. He cannot even come out with timelines regarding the new curriculum. There is a new curriculum but no text book. Do we use the old curriculum? OR we are waiting for approval. From who? When? This is a sign of a very inefficient Minister But then he is very ambitious because he told some of us he wants to be president one day, REALLY !!!

The double track system and its disastrous problems are coming up, can he tell us Ghanaians what the potential problems are and how he is going to solve them before the problems fall on our heads. We wish the President well for bringing such a noble programme (Free SHS) but NAPO is not the right person to handle it, in our honest opinion.

School uniforms were being sewn and manufactured here. We had commercial companies like Printex and other local manufactures, identifiable industries. They were denied follow-ups and it is known that NAPO gave contracts to five Women who went to china to order school uniforms, some of which don’t fit and look like “Knicker Boka” Why these five people? What kind of bribes changed hands? Is it the same 10% we keep hearing on the street? We want the Minister to answer these questions.

NAPO, come out and tell us your relationship with your competent deputies and your ministry officers. We realise you are very arrogant you cannot even run a successful operation without senselessly attacking your subordinates at meetings all the time. Then you arrogate yourself the kind of arrogance and pride to think that you can become somebody else other than a minister.

We want NAPO to come out to tell us, the recent lies that went on by inviting parents and their wards to the Black Star square about the registration. We need to know the details. What is the latest on it. In case Mr President is reading this, he must know that the public is very angry about this and other issues that have come up that this Minister is not addressing. He must address them. We are coming out with details, because we are not going to wash our dirty linen in public, but he must come out clean and answer them to you. Mr. President If you are not satisfied you know who to prompt to find out if these are true or not.

The work Dr Amoako Tuffuor did in the Ashanti Region in our national campaign in 2016, it is only ungrateful, ignorant people who did not realise the hard work, the wisdom, and the monies spent; and the drive that came in helping, especially in Ashanti and the nation as a whole. A lot of people realise and respect the role Dr Amoako Tuffuor played. Hme was a master planner and fantastic strategist, which talents he brought to bare during the 2016 electioneering campaigns.
