The Editor-In-Chief of the New Crusading Guide, Abdul Malik Baako has gauged comments made by the National Security Advisor concerning strike actions on the labour front as a sign of a frustrated man.
He described the comments of the security capo as not only "crude" but "tactless " and "insensitive".
Brigadier Nunoo-Mensah, a 1979 Chief of Defence Staff in the Armed Forces Revolutionary Council government, has chastised workers as undeserving of their pay while on strike.
This follows a strike action declared by Civil and Local government workers since Monday, October 14, demanding their unpaid allowances.
“Every Tom, Dick and Harry gets up and is calling for a strike. If you don’t want the job, Ghana is not a police state, take your passport and get out of this country... “If you can’t sacrifice like what some of us have done then get out. If the kitchen is too hot for you, get out”, Nunoo Mensah emphasised.
A number of public condemnation since then had been increasing without any sign of ending.
National Democratic Congress (NDC) MP for Dadekotopon, Nii Amasah Namoale said the former solider thoughts are fit only for the barracks.
Dr. Charles Wereko-Brobby, Chief Policy Analyst at the Ghana Institute of Public Policy Options says the National Security Advisor does not deserve to be at his post because he has become an "instrument of insecurity and insurrection"
Political parties such as National Democratic Party (NDP), Progressive Peoples' Party (PPP) and the main opposition party New Patriotic Party (NPP) have criticized the National Security Advisor outrightly.
Contributing to discussions on Metro TV's Good Morning Ghana, the Editor-In-Chief Abdul Malik Kweku Baako slammed the Brigadier for statements deemed "crude", "tactless" "insensitive" and an "abysmal failure" in his communication.
He said via text that in the face of industrial unrest, Nunoo Mensah's comments, poisons the atmosphere needed for negotiation.
According Kweku Baako, even though some of the Brigadier's sentiments have basis in law, his tone condemned him beyond any rationalization.
"Leadership must come with finesse not frustration", he cautioned.
