Susan Adu-Amankwah has issued a firm caution to public figures who politicize sensitive national issues, especially those involving Ghana's international image.
Speaking on Joy News' Newsfile, the Executive Secretary of the National Interest Movement reminded political actors that once they step into international spaces, partisan identity fades - and what remains is a shared national identity. "Sometimes people forget that when we go out there, it doesn't matter whether you are NDC, NPP, independent - you are Ghanaian," she said.
Her comments follow public outcry over allegations made by a Member of Parliament about suspicious aircraft allegedly carrying drugs and money.
Though she did not mention the MP by name in this segment, Adu-Amankwah made it clear that such allegations, if not backed by evidence, do more harm than good. "When things go out into the public and into the world, it's about you being Ghanaian," she added."They don't profile us according to our political parties.
