The former National Democratic Congress (NDC) Member of Parliament for Akwatia Constituency, Baba Jamal has described the ruling government as “substandard with substandard cabinet” jeopardizing the entire country with ill-thought out decisions.
According to the former lawmaker, the recent controversial US -Military Pact approved by Cabinet is one of the numerous bad decisions taken by Cabinet and for that matter the government which are deleterious to the citizenry hence generated hue and cry.
He said, it is therefore not surprising that several decisions by cabinet in the short period in office by this government have backfired and have neither been withdrawn or suspended following public outcry, saying it is a manifestation of inept handling of the state by the government despite its unprecedented large size.
Baba Jamal described as “marveling”, cabinet approval of the agreement with the US to set up a military base in Ghana and also allow unrestricted access to a host of facilities and wide-ranging tax exemptions to the United States Military.
Despite massive public protests against the deal which many including the opposition NDC described as “dangerous” and a sale of Ghana’s sovereignty, one sided Parliament (Majority member) on Friday night ratified the controversial military pact between Ghana and the United States after the Minority staged a walk out.
He said this when speaking at a handing over ceremony by the Tertiary Education Institutions Network( TEIN) -NDC party wing at the Koforidua Technical University on Friday March 24, 2018.
Former Ghana’s Ambassador to the United Kingdom, Ambassador Victor Smith opined that Ghana’s staggering development is due to poor and corrupt leadership at all levels despite preaching anti-corruption and accountability.
