Audio Attachment: Listen to Samuel Ofosu Ampofo on Peace FM's 'kokrokoo' |
Director of Elections of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Samuel Ofosu Ampofo has asked Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to stop responding to every criticism of the government.
According to him, Dr. Bawumia was elected Vice President to assist in running of affairs of the State.
Mr. Ofosu Ampofo delivered this advice to the Vice President on Peace FM's 'Kokrokoo' programme while commenting on Dr. Bawumia's statement to former President John Mahama.
Dr. Bawumia described the former President as clueless and someone "parroting propaganda" after Mr. Mahama rubbished the government's National Digital Property Addressing System (NDPAS).
Former President labeled the NDPAS as a "419 scam", asking "how can you launch a Google GPS system that is freely available on our mobile phone and say it is a national addressing system. It is such a pity. Why will you embarrass the president so much?"
"You go and take a whole president to bring him to come and launch a system that is 419.
"When we talk about accountability, this is where the president should show that he is serious about corruption . . . The toughness of the fight against corruption is that you are able to take action against your own people and that is what we did when we were in office. Here the NPP seems unable to take, the president seems unable to take self-action in anything," Mr. Mahama added.
After Mahama's assessment of the system, Vice President Dr. Bawumia sought to educate the former President on how the new system works.
"When I read his reasoning for such a description, it was evident to me that he has no clue about what he was talking about and was just engaged in parroting propaganda. I actually had a good laugh. Let me therefore take this opportunity to educate him and others who may think like him about Ghana’s landmark digital property addressing which has been achieved in less than one year, something his government could not do in eight years!" Dr Bawumia said.
He further stressed that it is prudent for one to "take your time to make sure you know what you are talking about otherwise you would be sadly exposed as being ignorant of simple facts as in this case".
But Mr. Ofosu Ampofo finds nothing wrong with the former President's comments about the NDPAS and so wondered why the Vice President would spend his time and energy responding to every bit of something a person says regarding the government.
According to him, though the system has got some good and bad sides, the Vice President should know that it was not built in isolation; in that the Mahama-NDC government provided the platform for the current administration to build the addressing system on.
He said the vice president has turned into the "Chief Propagandist of the government".
He made reference to the street naming system that the previous government spearheaded and believe that forms the basis for the digital address system.
"He has reduced governance to propaganda, and for me it's most unfortunate," he stated.
He also pinpointed some defects in the NDPAS and hoped the government will take notice of and rectify.
However, he wants to remind the Vice President of his position in governance, cautioning him to stop behaving like the "propaganda mouthpiece of the government".

Dr. Bawumia ! No Size!
This so called Pentecost (elder) did not see anything wrong with the statement from John Mahama the thi3f ,by referring to some people as pigx, but left this unguarded statement from Ex President to attack Dr Bawumia, no wonder: because birds of the same feathers flock together, why won't the party suffer if the likes of Ofosu Ampofo are the elders of the party
Stomach Elder. Please grow into an elder for this society. The future generations are looking up to today’s men. Hope we’ve all not been turned into pigs now by the vitriolic mahama. Photography is an honest profession because it tells you who you really are; but Bra Sammy Photo’s lifestyle is far from photography
THANK YOU FOR A CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM. THOUGH CRITICISING YOU WERE MEASURED, MATURED AND DECOROUS IN YOUR LANGUAGE. IN FACT FEW OF YOU CAN WIN MY HEART BACK TO NDC. THANK U HON. OFOSU AMPONFO
Bawumia is just a pathological liar that can never stop lying. the guy is a total disgrace to humanity, a liar of this century. He just robbed Ghana of 2.5 million dollars and still trying hard to defend it. I just pity him that after this his last time of lying vice president he will face many charges in court. Mark it on the wall.
That Vice President Dr. Bawumia has reduced Governance to Propaganda is just a wishful thinking of the NDC Propaganda Communicators.Anyone who wants Ghanaians to believe that Bawumia is making Propaganda is living in a ***barred word*** paradise. The Vice President has made his mark which is high and remarkable and to undo that, would take NDC 20 good years in Opposition just only to realize that Ghanaians are politically matured and strongly reject cheap, hollow and baseless politicking.The good Dr Bawumia put up issued based argumentation with facts during the election campaign and the good People of Ghana voted massively for his Party. Whilst NDC lost and failed misserably in her illusional Propaganda euphoria.
Says the biggest propaganda party. U are a joke. Fa wo kwaaaasem s)) h)
A ***barred word*** like you. Had it not been Mahama, where would you be. It's only in Ghana (Africa) that ministers can steal and get away with it and make the poor suffer. Check what's happening in Nigeria. Do you see the amount of money they have retrieved from former ministers like your type?
This ofosu ampofo guy seems to amaze me always. Such a character of a liar calls himself an elder of a chhurch. Aaaba Church of Pentecost why?
Am surprise an elder of The church of Pentecost and an NDC leader will talk like this. He did not see anything wrong with the loose and uselesss talk of that Thieff called JDM but has Bawumia to blame. People like Ampofo become rich people in Ghana because JDM led them to finish GHANA so they want him back so that they destroy Ghana more. God is watching you
