The acting Director of Communications for the ruling New Patriotic Party (NPP), Yaw Adomako Baafi, has warned elders of the party who have been making unguarded statements which he said is hurting the party to desist from further public comments.
According to him, such statements become a weapon for the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC) to use against the government and the party.
The warning follows comments made by the former Director of School Feeding Programme Dr. Kwame Amoako Tuffuor that he wept when he visited Free SHS Students at school.
Dr Amoako Tuffuor admitted that the free Senior High School (SHS) is fraught with numerous challenges and the earlier government addresses them better for it.
“Like school feeding and all that. I once visited a school and witnessed it; there was this young lady I met. At the time, I noticed, she has eaten all her food, licked her plate leaving no grain. She didn’t eat her egg on the food either. As I stood to see what see what she was going to do with it, she put her egg in the mouth and brought it out again and put it in her pocket. So I went to her and said, ‘you didn’t eat your egg’. And the reply she gave me was, that is my dinner. At that moment, I wept, ”he said.
But speaking on Oman FM’s political analysis Programme “Boiling Point” Yaw Adomako Baafi popularly known as lawyer expressed disappointment in Dr. Amoako Tuffuor who is a leading member of the party elder for making those comments.
He said his statement is now being used by the likes of Kofi Adams, National Organizer of the NDC to criticize government.
“His statement is now a reference point by members of the opposition National Democratic Congress,” he said.
According to him, he had made several calls to Dr. Amoako Tuffuor to speak to him on his statement, but he had not responded yet.
“I have called him to listen to him first but he didn’t respond to my calls,” he claimed.

THIS IS UNHEARD OF. HOW CAN YOU PUT AN EGG IN YOUR MOUTH AND REMOVE IT SEVERAL TIMES IN THE MORNING DURING YOUR BREAKFAST MEAL, AND THEN PUT IT IN YOUR POCKET AND SAY IT IS GOING TO BE YOUR LUNCH? THIS IS NOT PRACTICABLE!!! DR AMOAKO TUFUOR, PLEASE COME AGAIN, FOR NO ONE WILL DO THIS EVEN IN AN UNCIVILISED UTOPIA.

Dr. Amoako Tuffour wanted to be the Chief of Staff to President Nana Akufo Addo but he didn't get. He is inpatient about an appointment by the president and he is peeved. But remember Dr. Amoako Tuffour is always controversial in Ghana's politics since the the 1950s. But if doesn't stop, we will come down on him properly soon.
Dr. Amoako Tuffuor, please be careful because you because you find yourself in a party which does not accept the truth being said. Is it a crime to speak the truth? Beware of those who want to hide the truth. They do not want the true colours painted.
AMOAKO TUFFUOR RANTING AND BARRAGE OF CRITICISM OF THE FREE SHS PROGRAMME HAS ITS ROOTS FROM THE FAILED PRESIDENTIAL BID OF HIS MAIN MAN "ALLAN CASH" IN THE 2014 NPP PRIMARIES. TUFFUOR IS STILL HARBORING DEEP HATRED FOR NANA'S CLINCHING OF THE NPP PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE AT THE EXPENSE OF HIS PREFERRED CANDIDATE. AMOAKO IS A BED-DELLOW OF ANOTHER SOUR GRAPE/TRAITOR KWABENA AGYAPONG WHO IS NOW OUTSIDE LOOKING IN AND ATTEMPTING TO USE THE BACK DOOR TO CAUSE CONFUSION AND MUTINY IN THE YOUNG NPP ADMINISTRATION!!!! IF AMOAKO TUFFOUR IS A FAIR-MINDED AND TRUSTED ELDER NPP STATESMAN, HE WOULD HAVE USED CONSTRUCTIVE MEANS TO ADDRESS HIS CONCERNS!!!
