Let’s Remain As Cultured Ghanaians – Prof. Gyampo Reacts To Hooting Incident

There were times when my Akuapim people were very civil and decorous even when they were insulting.

This is what has filled the body politic with intense anger to the point that, even the beneficiaries of power are suddenly cowed into fear and are unable to speak out against this singular act that has monumentally embarrass their appointing authority.4.

His Excellency President John Dramani Mahama, once had a torrid experience at the Manhyia Palace when he was met with tumultuous chant of ‘change’ from some NPP supporters.

The event which was supposed to be solemn one, turned out to be rancorous when some of the mourners deliberately shouted insults and gestured ‘change’ towards the president as he arrived at the funeral grounds.

When some Ghanaians, including the loudest supporters of the NDC kept quiet over this, some of us spoke out openly against such act of gross disrespect exhibited against the President (JM) and the PRESIDENCY to the displeasure of some other Ghanaians, including the NPP support base.

Like what happened to President Mahama, this is also not courteous and respectful and even though many NPP apparatchiks and appointees are scared to come out to speak in condemning this practice; and even though some other level headed Ghanaians are very angry with how bad things are and hence would not comment about the disrespect shown the sitting President, some of us won’t shut up.

We will speak against this act of disrespect against the President and the PRESIDENCY, regardless of how angry we are, and the fact that, we would even be leading labor once again to go on strike very shortly.10.
