Deputy General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) says the Akufo-Addo administration should learn to accept criticism in good fate instead of responding with invectives.
Invectives, he noted, were used in the Vice-President's reply to former President and NDC leader John Mahama who has branded a government's GhanaPostGPS as a '419' app. Dr. Bawumia said John Mahama is clueless about the system and urged him to take time and read. He also jabbed, that the best examples of 419 schemes were found in a litany of scandals under Mahama.

But speaking Tuesday on Joy FM, Koku Anyidoho said “Dr. Bawumia should deal with the issues" although Dr. Bawumia's 4-page statement contained explanations on how the National Digital Addres System is designed to work. According to the deputy General Secretary "the NPP is becoming impatient and very intolerant. You criticise and they come very abusive; deal with the issues but don’t go insulting". He wants Dr. Bawumia to be prepared to be served the same criticism he dished out in opposition to the NDC's days in power. The NDC man recalled Dr. Bawumia virtually became the face of then opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) “crusading all the places, holding press conferences” and should therefore see nothing wrong when his policies are being criticised by the now opposition party.
Koku Anyidoho said the wave of political vigilantism under president Akufo-Addo proves the government is “completely impotent”. Since the NPP took over power in January, there have been several reports of enraged party youths attacking state institutions and appointees over jobs, appointments to political offices and political allocation of resources. Some 13 members were fined Ȼ1,800 each by a court, a judgment criticised as woefully inadequate in serving as a detterent. Several other acts of hooliganism are yet to be punished. According to Koku Anyidoho, the government is “impotent to the extent that they have collapsed the security system, the security system cannot operate.”
Meanwhile, Information Minister, Mustapha Hamid has defended the Dr. Bawumia’s response to the former President.
He said Mr. Mahama deserved the kind of response he got from the Vice-President because his comments sought to suggest Dr. Bawumia who is the “driver of the digital economy” engaged in fraud.
“I don’t think that the vice president did something wrong” Hamid stated adding that “It is not his nature to let untruth stand.”
“If somebody calls you fraudulent, you will be hurt and you will have to get the hurt off your chest,” the Minister stated.

The Ex-President Mahama and his band of hooligans are very very 1gn0rant of how Software's/Apps and for that matter technology works! I heard John Mahama saying *“How can you launch a Google GPS system that is freely available on our mobile phone and say it is a national addressing system..."* You see where the IGNORANCE IS..?? 1. Google does NOT own a (Global Positioning System) "GPS System". 2. Google owns an Application called Google Maps or Google Earth; together with satellites in space which allows the applications Google run and for that matter any other third party Device or Application capture GPS Coordinates (Longitudes, Latitudes and Accuracy/Thresholds etc.) 3. NASA (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) and other Companies and Countries also have their own Satellites in space, therefore..Someone could develop and Application and depend on NASA Satellites or Google Satellites, and even in some instances you have no idea the satellite which is helping you capture the COORDINATES. TO THE POINT: 1. The Asaase GPS application and Google Maps and a lot more are examples of different applications used to capture GPS data, and anyone can develop an app to capture GPS Information without lunching Satellites into space. 2. The question of COST comes in when someone (a Software Engineer) is contracted to build an application. The engineer can build his application based on an existing FREE Model under the Free License or Open Source Policy but that does NOT mean he will have to give it out for Free. WHAT DO I MEAN? (CONCLUSION) 1. Google Maps is FREE on our phones does NOT mean other Applications that uses Google COORDINATES or NASA COORDINATES are not to be sold at a PRICE!! 2. There are other 1 million GPS applications out there that are FREE but the question is: Will it fit into our purpose or objective..?? No software is straight forward, sometimes it needs to be tweaked to fit into requirements and that comes at a price, even if the Software is available for FREE as an Open Source Software. JOHN MAHAMA and HIS COHORTS Are wrong Again!
See who is giving advise When u were insulting Kofour and Prof Mills looked on. Give us a break Too much cat meat has affected ur brains
