Central
Regional Secretary of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwamena
Duncan, has laid blame at the doorstep of His Excellency, President
John Dramani Mahama for the shocking defeat suffered by the Black Stars
at the hands of the US counterparts in opening match of their FIFA World
Cup Group G encounter.
Sharing his views on the ongoing
tournament, Kwamena Duncan posited that the failures of the Mahama
administration have had a telling effect on the fortunes of the Senior
National Football Team, thus adversely affecting their performance.
He
ascribed the Black Stars' major defeat in the World Cup to the current
challenges crippling the nation, which to him, are as a result of
incompetence on the part of the President.
Expressing utter
disgust over the silence of President Mahama regarding the remarks which
were made by the Deputy Sports Minister, Joseph Yamin, prior to Ghana's
match against the USA, Kwamena Duncan opined that the Deputy Minister
should have been openly rebuked to serve as a deterrent to others.
He
observed that instead of a united nation backing the Black Stars, the
government appointees’ remarks only served to alienate others.
“You
promised the people of this country a ‘Better Ghana’. So, a President
should be able to know where we have come from and stamp his feet…There
should be public reprimand to prove that you register your displeasure
with action in order to galvanize the spirit of the entire nation behind
the team...
“Even when you look at the neckline of the jerseys, it’s in NDC colours," he told host Kwami Sefa Kayi on Peace FM's "Kokrokoo". |
