The Minority in Parliament has criticized President Kufuor for his seemingly soft stance on the Zimbabwean government’s use of brutal force against the country’s opposition members.

According to the Minority Leader Alban Bagbin the President as African Union Chairman should be seen taking a tougher stance against the rogue state.

He said this in Parliament on Friday after Foreign Affairs and NEPAD Minister Nana Akufo-Addo delivered a statement on the upcoming AU Summit to be held in Accra in July.

The Minority Leader’s comments come in the wake of the physical assault of opposition figures by police in Zimbabwe.

The country has received heavy criticism from the international community after police beat up the leader of Zimbabwe’s main opposition leader, Morgan Tsvangirai and his supporters at a rally.

Foreign Affairs Minister Nana Akufo-Addo admitted that unresolved conflicts on the continent remain major challenges that the AU Chairman would have to deal with.

He said the July AU Summit would focus on the kind of governance the continent would want to be governed by.
