A deputy Minister of Information, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, has questioned the neutrality of a political science lecturer at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kwesi Amakye, and said he does not deserve the accolade as an independent commentator.
Ablakwa said Amakye �is not a neutral player� after calling on Ghanaians to vote for the main opposition New Patriotic Party candidate Nana Akufo-Addo in this year�s election.
The lecturer told Citi News on Tuesday that he will be surprised if Ghanaians re-elect president Mills for a second term considering what he described as the Mills administration�s utter failure.
However, Ablakwa in an interview with Radio Gold on Wednesday said the media�s �independent commentator� has exposed his political colours after �letting us into his mindset� and tells us where he belongs. �
Mr. Amakye said President Mills has totally failed Ghanaians in tackling corruption and does not deserve a second term in office. He cited the raging Woyome saga and the allegations of corruption against former Sports Minister, Muntaka Mubarak to buttress his point.
He also said the President�s inability to curb the politics of insult is indicative he doesn't merit another four-year mandate. �Is it Mills who asked Akufo-Addo to insult him that he is �Professor do little�, is it Mills who asked Ken Agyepong to insult Alhaji Bature� Mills has rather been at the receiving end and this is so funny,� Ablakwa said. He added, �In the case of Muntaka, he resigned and the President took action so what has the President done to Amakye? �
Amakye could not respond to Ablakwa�s assertions because he had a paper to present.
