A deputy Minister of Water Resources, Works and Housing, Hannah Bissiw has described ex President Kufour�s speech at last Thursday�s Liberty lectures organised by Danquah Institute, as non-nationalistic. President Kufuor at the Lecture commended his government for various projects it undertook while he served as President. He further sought to project the NPP�s Presidential candidate Nana Akufo Addo as an experienced candidate who is best for Ghana. But Hannah Bissiw, speaking on Radio XYZ�s Saturday Political Talk Programme the �Analyst�, said President Kufuor�s speech which did not prioritise President Nkrumah and President Rawlings achievements, was unpatriotic. �I don�t see the speech as nationalistic, it was purely political organized by the Danquah Institute. If he was going to address as a statesman, the platform would have been different. �I may be wrong but I don�t believe this speech was written from his office�. Meanwhile, a member of the Communication team of the NPP and a panel on the show, Ibrahim Adjei disagreed with the assertions of the deputy Water Resources Minister. According to him, ex President Kufuor's speech was a call to all the political players in the society to help empower Ghanaians. �President Kufuor�s speech was a call the political players in our society to empower the people".
