A leading member of the pressure group OccupyGhana, Franklin Cudjoe has lashed out at the Communications Minister, Dr. Omane Boamah and others for attacking the group for issuing the Attorney-General an ultimatum to indicate how embezzled funds will be recovered. According to host of Oman Fm�s National Agenda, Fiifi Boafo, the Communications Minister on his Facebook Wall, wrote that �Will the partisan group [OccupyGhana] get to court quickly and stop that�.�. Reacting to Dr. Omane Boamah's Facebook wall comment, Franklin Cudjoe fumed on Oman Fm�s that Dr. Omane Boamah should not set off on the wrong course by departing from the �recklessness� of some of his colleague ministers as this will not auger well for good governance. �I keep saying that the kinds of characters who are given portfolios to manage the country do not understand that there is a new wind that is blowing that people who are competent, professionals who are self-made, who do not rely on party crumbs have decided that they will not stoop low to the levels of idiots in government; I think that�s a perfect response to them,� he fumed. To him, such comments are distractions to sway OccupyGhana from the good course to force state institutions to perform their duties as mandated; emphasizing that the comment from the government officials means that their minds have been occupied by the activities of the pressure group. �This will not stop us at all; in fact it actually means that we are occupying their minds...it is a great joke; OccupyGhana has no member sitting anywhere to say that because government members are NDC, they are less human beings...they know some of their followers because of the level of activities of OccupyGhana, they will appreciate us and so the only way to refute is to suggest that all these people are from a political party,� he chided. �I want Mr. Omane Boamah including his stooges to know that if they dare, we could also descend into the mud but won�t stay there; we will come out clean. So if I were him, I will respond to the truth...we have been paying taxes to feed them and they should thank us for doing the work which they are sleeping over it,� he added.
