Former District Chief Executive of Garu Tempane, Hon. Emmanuel Sin-Nyet Asigri has chastised the National Security Advisor, Brigadier-General Nunoo-Mensah, describing his utterances about striking workers as a �useless talk� which cannot put fear in Ghanaians to keep silence over their legal right to demonstrate.
At the commissioning of a nine-classroom block which he has built for O�reilly Senior High School in Accra, Brigadier-General Joseph Nunoo-Mensah called for the suspension of salaries of striking employees; describing many strikes on the labor front as a sign of high level of indiscipline in the country.
Brigadier-General Nunoo-Mensah described the incessant strikes in the country as �indiscipline� and urged government to take immediate steps to address it.
�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�if you can�t sacrifice like what some of us have done then get out. If the kitchen is too hot for you, get out,� he chastised striking workers.
Describing the stance of Brigadier-General Nunoo-Mensah on Hot Fm, Hon. Emmanuel Asigri discredited him saying it is �pathetic and disgusting� for the National Security Advisor to call workers who have served the country for 2 years without salary �unpatriotic�.
He further averred that it is expected at his (Nunoo Mensah�s) age and experience in state affairs to allow his senses to lead him in his utterances; reiterating that �this man talks with anger as if he has issue with everybody in the country.�
Addressing the issue of indiscipline highlighted by Brigadier-General Nunoo-Mensah, the former Garu-Tempane DCE fumed that �this man is the most indiscipline person within NDC government if I am to pronounce�.
Explaining his pronouncement, he alleged that Brigadier-General Nunoo-Mensah wrote a letter to cancel a legal agreement between a private institution and District Assemblies to provide website service on the grounds of political affiliation.
�If this is the kind of advice he has been giving to President Mahama, then some of us are not surprised at where we are heading towards as a nation�if he doesn�t know how to contain such situation, then he should get off that seat. When you are given a mandate to serve, don�t lord it over anybody,� he opined.
He therefore drew the attention of the NDC government to face the challenges of the country and stop engaging in �this reckless talk.�
