A founding member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), Kofi Mintah, has urged political parties to condemn wrong doings of their members to discourage others from doing same.
"Anything which is wrong is wrong, no mater the perpetrator, and it must be condemned by all", Mr Mintah said in an interview with Ghana News Agency at Winneba.
According to him, it seemed politicians had two lenses from which they saw actions done by their members as right but the same actions by their opponents as wrong.
Mr Mintah was commenting on alleged disparaging remarks made by a teacher, Mr Adu Gyamfi, who is also a supporter of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) on a radio programme in Kumasi against President John Evans Atta Mills.
He said the manner in which the NPP handled a similar issue when their activist allegedly claimed that Former President Jerry John Rawlings deliberately burnt down his residence, encouraged the teacher to insult the sitting President.
He stated that the party's (NPP) behaviour in the case against Nana Darkwa, who accused the former President without evidence, made him a hero when the case was taken to court.
The NDC founding member said if the party had condemned the action of Nana Darkwa, Mr Adu Gyamfi would not have insulted President Mills.
Mr Mintah noted with concern the behaviour of the teacher who imparts knowledge to students, questioning “what type of knowledge this man would give to our students.”
He requested the Education Association to which Mr Adu Gyamfi belongs to take up the issue since he had disgraced them.
Mr Mintah condemned the impunity which was gaining grounds in the country, blaming it on the actions of some politicians.
He said the impunity would not help in national development and reminded Ghanaians that building a better nation was a collective responsibility and not for only a ruling government.
