Mr Samuel Okudjeto Ablakwa, Member of Parliament for North Tongu and Minority Ranking Member on Foreign Affairs has described Government’s response to Sierra Leone in their mudslide and flooding disaster as “poor, slow and uninspiring.”
He said the country has a proud history of supporting countries in time of distress and said Government’s “feet dragging is unimpressive and inconsistent. We’ve always been leaders, not followers.”
Mr Okudjeto said this at the maiden Volta Parliamentary outreach organized by the Governance Department of the Evangelical Presbyterian University in Ho.
He said Government’s request for the citizenry to support with clothing and other items was ‘lifeless’ and that it must show leadership by sending government’s support first before appealing to the citizenry.
Mr Okudjeto said by now, military personnel should have been sent on rescue mission and not the issuance of statements, which he said, “offered no hope.”
Nearly 400 people were confirmed dead and 600 missing after a mudslide and flooding in Sierra Leone’s capital, Freetown on Monday.
Commenting on a recent petition by an Indian Businessman to President Nana Addo Akufo Addo over alleged “harassment” by the Interior Minister, he said the issue had serious ramifications for the image of the country and urged the President to intervene and uphold the rule of law.

Oh ! Incompetence even in opposition. Must you speak on everything? Lord have MERCY.
THE GOVERNMENT RESPONDED TO THE SITUATION IN THE GAMBIA DURING YAYA JAMMEH'S TIME AND YOU CRITISIZED THAT HE HAS RESPONDED TOO EARLY, THIS ONE TOO YOU ARE CRITICIZING THAT HE HAS RESPONDED TOO LATE. NDC, IF HAVE NOTHING TO SAY,SHUT YOUR MOUTH BECAUSE YOU ARE DISGRACING YOURSELF.
Must you find fault with everything the government does?
People have you noticed that of recent John Jinapor and Kwabena Donkor have stopped talking?Well, the big th13ves in the NDC have gone silent because they don't want any undue attention to themselves;but of course that does not mean that when the days of reckoning arrive they will will not be noticed.Okudjeto thinks because his business in the past administration of judgement debt promotion and development did not actually leave a paper trail he is untouchable. We all live to see.Remember the guy used to have buck teeth? Do some research and find out how much he spent on getting those teeth fixed You'll be astounded 'These people have totally killed this country,and if we were to go by the same yardstick their founder used to shoot people, most of them would have been shot ,buried, and their carcasses exhumed to be shot again and again.
If this Ablakwah is the Spokesperson on Foreign Affairs for the Minority, then NDC is in trouble. This uneducated hollow brain speaking for NDC on Foreign Affairs? No wonder NDC is in a mess
The men in NDC have gone to hide because of the SPECIAL PROSECUTOR, and the baby with SHARP TEETH speaks on every issue for them? Wait for the SP and let us see who in NDC will continue to talk Rubbish on every thing!
What is constructive about what he's saying. The government giving aid of about $1 million will be nothing to the NDC folks cos people like Ablakwa had easily acquired that in their accounts by their corrupt practices. Does he really have to talk to everything????? That is nauseating, and not constructive. Mediocre minds!!!!
Sammy is on top of his game. The job of the opposition is to criticize constructively and he does that very well. Kudos Sammy
Shuuuutttt up oooooo shuttttttt up!!! You don't have to respond to everything the govt does. We voted you out because you are useeeless and stuuupppiddd. We don't need your opinion so please shuttttt uppp.
This guy opens his mouth and all kind of ***barred word*** comes out
