A member of the National Democratic Congress [NDC] communication team, Dela Edem has tagged the first gentleman of the land as a disgrace to the nation.
He said a greater section of Ghanaians are very much disappointed in the President including some genuine members of the ruling NPP because his promises does not match his style of governance.
“So far President Akufo-Addo has become a laughing stock to the international community and a disgrace to Ghana, embarrassing everybody as our leader,” he said during a discussion about the recent flooding problems in the country.
However, Dela Edem who spoke on UTV’s late news programme agreed with Ex-President Rawlings on the removal of the indemnity clauses.
“ . . But I pray he [former President Jerry John Rawlings] is left a free man should these laws be amended,” he added.
Background
Former President Jerry John Rawlings has in a characteristic June 4 address called for an urgent review of the Fourth Republican constitution to remove entrenched clauses that protect high level political actors and embolden some of them to abuse their office and criminally profit from their positions.
Delivering the keynote address at a parade, wreath-laying and durbar to climax activities marking the 40th anniversary of the June 4 uprising at Nungua on Tuesday, the architect of the uprising said there are many constitutional clauses that do not serve our interest and called for an urgent establishment of a constituent assembly to review them.
“Over the years the indemnity clauses have emboldened certain characters to abuse their offices and profit themselves. The constitution of the Fourth Republic was created by us, for us and to serve us, and in light of the 25 years, there is an unqualified need to reform or rewrite our current constitution. An urgent constituent assembly ought to be established with the necessary powers to rewrite the constitution.”
Flt Lt Rawlings said problematic clauses such as the transitional provisions and the indemnity clauses need to be reviewed to ensure that everyone is equal before the law to encourage transparency, accountability and responsible governance.

hahahahahah ndc is so desperate so they talk any how without thinking about it, opposition is the right place for you stay there
Even you wasted time to vote john mahama as your flagbearer! there is nothing painful on this earth for bunch of fo*ols who think they are smart in their world to contest with sensible people, it's hard and very difficult to direct them to be on their lane and this is what is happening in Ghana politics! I pity the wise NPP for having foo00*00ls in opposition who are trying every possible to destroy Ghana's progress, my late mother always said those who bring forth f00*00ls have nothing to lose but those nurturing them, those mothers only have one day labour pains to bring forth those idi*ots but those bringing them up have to take years if nons*ense to try to shape them so NPP have to take years of nons*ense to deal with these f00*00ls in the ndc who can't make any sense in wisdom! Dynamism and rising up and doing has another meaning to these idi*ots and they think everything is funny! this lady was happy to see my president and was just trying to show her readiness to get some wisdom from the man of Wisdom and look at what the pi*gs are saying, you give them pearls and they just trample them in the mud. Thank God, Ghanaians have seen the us*elessness of this opposition and they will stay there till thy kingdom come either foo*oolish pride and arrogance.
