An NPP Activist, Yaw Adomako Baafi, has described as �ignorant�, the responses offered by Presidential Spokesperson, Mahama Ayariga and Information Minister, Zita Okaikoi, and their swift rubbishing of media reports on the acquisition of new jets. He has however, commended the efforts by the Defence Minister, Lt General J.H Smith, in clarifying the issue.
Speaking on PEACEFM�s �Kokrokoo, Lawyer, as he is affectionately called by confidantes, opined that the inefficiency of President Mills� communications team has once again been brought to the fore. According to him, the two personalities practically tripped over each other in their answers on the purchase of the jets.
�Ayariga explanations were totally off-track, whiles Zita was a bit closer to the truth, but General Smith proved the biblical saying true that, �wisdom lies in grey hair,� he stated.
The NPP activist deduced that had the Defense Minister spoken in advance, the two government communications experts would have been spared this public ridicule.
�If the man had spoken earlier, the ignorance demonstrated by Ayariga and Zita would not have been so clear� evidently they were uninformed and their lack of knowledge on the issue was so obvious and negligible,� he said.
Mr. Adomako Baafi alluded to the action by the NDC to play to the gallery and politicized the previous government�s intention to purchase new presidential jets and gleefully denigrated them by saying, �you are going in for turbo, turbo jets.�
