A National Democratic Congress (NDC) government has a better record than its New Patriotic Party (NPP) counterpart as regards appointees resigning on principle, Abraham Amaliba has said.
Mr Amaliba, a member of the legal team of the NDC, said mention can be made of the likes of Murtala Ibrahim Mohammed, a former Deputy Trades and Industry Minister, and Dzifa Ativor, a former Transport Minister, as persons who resigned for admitting to doing wrong.
The legal practitioner’s reference came on the back of remarks by Member of Parliament for Awutu Senya East George Andah on TV3’s New Day on Saturday that the incumbent government has shown the way by not accepting the resignation of an appointee and re-assigning him.
Mr Andah’s remarks are perhaps an insinuation to the resignation and subsequent re-assignment to the Office of Presidency of Elvis Afriyie Ankrah in the Mahama-led government.
The Deputy Communications Minister said President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo accepted the resignation of Deputy Minister of Food and Agriculture William Agyapong Quaitoo in good faith and wished him well, a marked departure from the previous administration, he said.
But Mr Amaliba contested that and cited how even the likes of Ms Ativor were not allowed to play any more role in government after their resignation.
He noted that there are other rots at government agencies and involving key government functionaries but disappointed the media are not shedding light on those.
He cited the distribution of contaminated fuel by BOST and the selling of bonds by the Minister of Finance allegedly to his pals as issues the media must pursue. But he begged for forgiveness for Mr Quaitoo by the people of the north.

i hope this country has a future because lawyers who are suppose to critically analyze before they talk seems to talk before they analyze.Like my friend said how can you just say party A had more resignation than Party B when the person who resign can mount on a platform and tell Ghanaians that if my party is booted out i will be jailed so keep my party so i can continue to corrupt.God help Ghana.
who gave this ***barred word*** the audience. He does not say any sensible thing.
Nana pls reassign Hon.Quit to wai we in de grassroots in de south,west,east,Accra wants him back u can't relay on dis difficult Northerners to govern.reassign Quitto
Whaaat? Isn't it obvious that all those resignations had something to do with MONEY and this one does not? Mtcheew
So there are no reasonable people in the ndc to talk for that party? In fact I'd ndc rely on such people with no sense but only education and I'm even praying if his degrees are not fake to talk for them then huh!they will stay in opposition for long . They just open their mouths to release bad breath but not to talk to help their party.I'm surprised ndc haven't as yet come to terms some of their members who talk for them are irritating and have to cut them out. They pretty much annoy the people when they open their mouths and they make the party unattractive and can't they see they are destroying their party?with such people who do you think will invest in the ndc? Ndc lack kritical thinkers indeed.
Of course! Since NDC's scandals were so numerous and also of gargantuan proportions, we expect more resignations from NDC than from NPP
Smh. How many scandals were there in the NDC era of 8 years and how many resigned? This government in just 8 months has shown you the wait and you say what? What happened to those people who created, looted and shared in the SADA, Woyome, GYEEDA, Brazil World cup fiasco and other scandals?
