National
Democratic Party’s (NDP) outspoken communicator, Ernest Owusu Bempah
has launched a caustic attack on President John Dramani Mahama for
admonishing his critics to stop ranting on radio about the
administration of the State and help fix the economy.
President
John Mahama, during a congregational service at the 120th Celebration of
the Catholic Archdiocese of Accra, implored his critics to assist him
to fix the economic crisis that has since bedeviled the nation.
According to him, the country should collectively join hands to ensure
that Ghana becomes a better country to live in.
"...it doesn’t
pay to vent our frustration on radio talk show programmes...if we must
to build a better and prosperous nation, all of us need to come together
and act in concert," President Mahama stated.
Despite the
President's admonition, Owusu Bempah believes he (President Mahama)
lacks "communication intelligence” and is inept in leadership.
In
Owusu Bempah's view, democratic governance entails accommodating
criticisms and so, an analytical study of President Mahama's comments
regarding his critics shows he is only acting as a "reckless Chief in
Miami."
He held strongly that President Mahama wants to gag his
critics so that he can go ahead to rule the country in a “useless
manner.”
Speaking to peacefmonline.com, Owusu Bempah opined that
President Mahama steals in peace and just gets away with it. He has
already sent a signal to every Ghanaian that he has lost the plot…He
doesn’t want to govern this country again…like a reckless Chief in
Miami, vents his spleen… his frustration on the ordinary Ghanaian who
cares about the destiny of this country.”
“He lacks the
communication intelligence…or he’s frustrated as a leader” and is
petrified because he has failed to revamp the progress of the economy.
He
further stated emphatically that “he (President Mahama’s) government
has borrowed so much money than any other government in this country”.
“He
doesn’t know how to handle the situation. So, he’s scared that people
are talking about it and it’s getting out of hand, and he wants people
to keep quiet so that he can steal and go in peace in 2016…He’s rather
the person who’s been talking too much,” Owusu Bempah concluded. |
