Abdul Malik Kweku Baako, Editor-In-Chief of the New Crusading Guide newspaper, says Ghanaians have been unfair in critisising President John Evans Atta Mills' speech to the United Nations General Assembly. The President, among other things, told world leaders at the UN General Assembly last Friday, that his administration had made giant strides in its development efforts, citing the removal of over 1,000 schools under trees and the distribution of free school uniforms and exercise books. He has since come under severe criticism for the speech with Mr Kwesi Pratt, Managing Editor of the Insight newspaper, arguing the speech was at best fit for Parliament and “not worth the attention [it] received at the UN General Assembly.” “Now you compare the speech that our President gave, to speeches delivered by people like Evo Morales and see the world attention, see how they grabbed world attention and so on. Because they are discussing the world, they are discussing the problems of the world and how they see the world, we didn’t. We went there we were talking about free textbooks, free exercise books, free school uniforms, schools under trees and so on, I was not impressed at all,” Mr Pratt said. But Mr Kweku Baako, commenting on the subject on Peace FM’s news analysis programme Kokrokoo Monday, said the criticisms were not just unfair but misplaced. He said a content analysis of the President’s written speech would reveal that the public has been unfair to him. Malik Baako said since he neither watched nor listened to the president, he could not judge him on the level of delivery, but that he could on the basis of the text, say that the speech was a good one. He, however, did not rule out the possibility that the president's delivery on the day might have influenced people’s appreciation of his statements. He disagreed with people he said were creating the impression that President Mills did a “di wo fie asem” at the UN General Assembly, saying the President touched on many international issues such as peacekeeping, arms treaty, organised crime, gender equality, millennium development goals, etc. He thought that issues related to the Libya crisis, Palestine statehood, UN Security Council veto powers and membership were the three most significant omissions in President Mills' speech.
