Deputy Minister for Regional Reorganization and Development, Martin Adjei Mensah-Korsah is urging the Acting General Secretary for the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), John Boadu and other party executives to crack the whip on the irate youth of NPP in Savelugu.
According to him, though it is becoming one too many, the reported cases of some NPP activists openly kicking against nominees for the positions of DCEs and MCEs, the attitude of the youth of Savelugu leaves much to be desired.
“The attitude of the youth of Savelugu cannot be justified in anyway. If they didn’t like the person, the best point they should have stopped her was during confirmation. The Assembly members are from the town and if I can say to the very core, the Assembly members consist of both NPP and NDC members and they voted for the woman to get her confirmation,” he asserted.
“After all these steps, they are insisting they don’t agree. If the woman does not deserve it, before her confirmation, they had every right to campaign against her and to lobby against her,” he stressed.
Mr. Adjei Mensah-Korsah maintained that the woman has passed the stage of lobbying against her as any further agitation could be termed as sheer hatred.
“If the youth are shown the power of the law, they will be sober and it wouldn’t end up that way. The method they have chosen, they will not get solution to it; at best, they will be in trouble and if care is not taken, the appointing authority may not tolerate it anymore. They are giving us a bad name; giving us a bad press. It is not good and it is needless. Ghanaians are watching us and we cannot continue like this,” he fumed.
He again reminded the irate NPP youth of Savelugu that it is not only them who worked as others also worked hard for the party in a particular way.
“What they are doing is an embarrassment to the party and it is worrisome to the party. I expect John Boadu and Co to crack the whip; those with membership cards who misbehave in this manner should not be allowed to go on. Mr. Freddie Blay must crack the whip because nobody can be bigger than the party,” he charged.

what has being in the north got to do with this???
martin is a ***barred word***, let him come to saveligu to repeat such thrash
Thank you, honorable deputy minister, for calling a spade a spade. What the youth are doing is not only against the law but open disrespect to the president. The earliest the party hierarchy cracks the whip the better. The very thing NDC youth did is what they are also practicing.If the president does not have the power to appoint but that of all the people who voted for him "then did we go or did we come" I was even ashamed when I heard the MP spoke on Joy FM and he was sounding as if he supported what the youth are doing. Perhaps the party must tell the MP of the area something too. what they are doing is shameful and uncivilised and they must be told and deal with period.
Deputy Minister, Mr. Martin Adjei Mensah-Korsah should ***barred word***. Monkey the work baboo dey chop will not be comprehended anymore. If the woman contributed to the success of the party make it known to the people and tempers will cool down.
When Dr. Nkrumah was asked about the corruption in his government he said that he believed that the only way to fight corruption is to create a strong public opinion against it. To this end, Akufo-Addo must ensure that kindergarten and primary school children across the country are taught anti-corruption poems and songs. An anti-corruption question must always appear in the BECE.
Well said Martin. But can it be done in NPP?
When it happen in Mills NPP said he is not in charge i want to know whether Nana Addo is in charge.
Because they are from the north right
