Just
when the brouhaha over the controversial remarks made by the National
Security Advisor to the Presidency, Brigadier General Joseph
Nunoo-Mensah, appeared to have died down, the Deputy Communications
Director of the National Democratic Party (NDP) has poured oil over
fire.
Speaking on Oman FM, Ernest Owusu Bempah called on
appropriate authorities in the country to sanction General Nunoo-Mensah
over the comments he made against the nation's labour force.
The
National Security Advisor, addressing a gathering during the
commissioning of a nine-classroom block he built for O’reilly Senior
High School in Accra, told public sector workers who are dissatisfied
with President Mahama's administration to find their way out of the
country.
He insisted they pick up their passports and exit the country if they are not ready to sacrifice for the beloved nation.
“As
I walk in the sun here from morning till evening sometime I only drink
orange juice to build a school for the future of our children. Then some
teachers say that they won't teach them because they are on strike!. It
is very sad that we toil with the future of our children,” he bemoaned.
“Every
Tom, Dick and Harry gets up and is calling for a strike. If you don’t
want the job Ghana is not a police state, take your passport and get out
of this country," he continued, stressing that if they can't "sacrifice
like what some of us have don’t then get out. If the kitchen is too hot
for you, get out."
But according to the NDP Stalwart, such
comments amount to treason and so, in his view, General Nunoo-Mensah
should be summoned for interrogation.
Expressing disgust over
General Nunoo-Mensah's remarks, he held strongly that such is "a
treasonable statement. Any country which is serious by now General Nunoo
Mensah should be questioned…That is the saddest thing any Ghanaian can
get,” hence, inadvertently, calling on the appropriate authorities and
government to charge him with treason.
