Information Minister, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, has criticized the Dean of the University of Ghana Law School, Professor Raymond Atuguba.
Prof Atuguba has been severely criticized for suggesting that Ghana is susceptible to a coup, looking at the hardship in the country.
According to him, “we do not want coup in this country but if we do not act quickly we may have one in our hands. There is one thing to do now, prevent coup in Ghana since the climate and the environment, national and immediate international, are conducive for one. We must compel the government to acknowledge the current economic mess, they mostly, and previous governments, to a larger extent."
“Ghana's economic problems started before Covid-19. On balance, Covid-19 was a good thing for Africa and Ghana,” he said at a forum held by Solidare Ghana.
Speaking to this in an interview on Peace FM's morning show 'Kokrokoo', Kojo Oppong Nkrumah said as a learned person, Prof Atuguba should have known better.
"As an intellectual, he should have known better . . . he could have just expressed his mind instead of sowing such seeds in the minds of people. The government is not against free speech but you can’t take advantage of that and preach coup," he stated.

A subversionist and arnachist who teaches constitutional law at a university is really ironical ,in my candid opinion. He is lucky he does not live in Uganda. Moseveni would not tolerate his stupidly unguarded statement.
GHANAIANS ARE JOKERS NO COUNTRY BORROWED TO FUND THEIR INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS IS ONLY A COUNTRY THAT IS SICK. ALLOW PEOPLE TO PAY TAXES NOT TO LEAVE FOR FREE, A COUNTRY LIKE RUSSIA, USA, CANADA, AUSTRALIA, AND OTHER MIDDLE INCOME COUNTRIES DO NOT BORROWED TO FUND THEIR INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS, PAY GOVERNMENT WORKERS PURE ***barred word***. NO COUNTRY WANT THEIR CAKE AND EAT IT TOO. NO FREE LUNCH ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO PAY TAXES TO FUND YOUR ROADS USE YOUR MOUTH TO PAVE YOUR ROADS. TAKE A LOOK AT THE GHANA CEDI, ANYTIME BANK OF GHANA SELLS DOLLARS GUTA AND THEIR PEOPLE GET A CHUNK OF IT TO IMPORT ALL KINDS OF sh*t INTO THE COUNTRY INSTEAD FORCUSING ON THE COUNTRY'S LOCAL FOOD PRODUCTION THAT IS WHAT IS KILLING THE CEDI TO BE THE WORST PERFORMING CURRENCY INTHE WORLD. GHANAIANS SHOULD TELL THE WORLD WHAT VALUE ADDED PRODUCTS DO GHANA EXPORTS TO EARN FOREIGN EXCHANGE TO SHORE UP THE CEDIS GHANA ONLY EXPORT RAW MATERIALS WHICH DOESN'T GET NOTHING MUCH. SO WE NEED TO EXPORT MUCH ADDED VALU TO GAIN FOREIGN EXCHANGE TO SHORE UP THE LOCAL CURRENCY AND THAT IS WHAT PRESIDENT NANA ADDO TRYING TO DO BY ONE DISTRICT ONE FACTORY. TO CHANGE THE PARADIM SHIFT TO GET MORE FOREIGN EXCHANGE TO HELP THE CEDI/
