The Deputy Ashanti Regional Minister,
Mr. Joseph Yamin, has accused the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) of
praying fervently that the deadly Ebola disease hits Ghana so that they can
have the opportunity to lash out at the government.
According to the deputy minister, the opposition
party has become exceedingly obsessed with the Ebola disease to the extent that
they are not ready to give credit to the government for working hard to ensure
that the country is free off the disease. Addressing
members of the Kumasi Polytechnic branch of the Tertiary Education
Institutional Network of the NDC (TEIN) in Kumasi, Mr. Yamin, who has
constantly refused to detach his former position as the Ashanti Regional scribe
of the ruling party from his current post as a deputy minister, noted that the
opposition NPP's desperation for power has reached a crescendo and have
therefore the penchant for engaging in trivial criticisms. He said members of
the NPP were employing desperate propaganda machineries to divert the attention
of Ghanaians from the dirty integral wrangling and bickering that have
characterised their party. Mr. Yamin, who
was sacked from his post at the lucrative Ministry of Youth and Sports
following his infamous public utterances prior to the World Cup tournament in
Brazil, also chastised the opposition party for seeking to blame government of
President John Dramani Mahama for the recent outbreak of cholera in the
national capital and other parts of the country. According to the deputy minister, the opposition party
appears to be losing the battle of political objectivity, stressing that they
have refused to engage in discussions based on realities and have instead
resorted to vile propaganda. He contended
that the claim by the NPP that Ghana's borders are not adequately secured to
deal with an outbreak was not true, adding that the government has adequately
resourced all neighbouring borders to deal with any potential cases.
