The Member of Parliament for North Tongu, Okudzeto Ablakwa, has taken on President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo over his seeming silence on the recent tidal waves disaster in parts of the Volta Region.
Mr. Ablakwa said the President’s swift response to foreign tragedies as compared to his slow reaction towards happenings in the country is unacceptable.
“President Nana Akufo-Addo’s conduct since this national tragedy is totally unacceptable. When this happened, I expected him to have canceled his trip to Cape Verde. He should have driven some three-hour journey to visit the victims.
“That is what you expect from leaders who care for their people. Not even a statement or a tweet [about the tidal waves]. Not a Facebook post acknowledging what is happening. This is a President who is quick to comment on tragedies that are happening elsewhere,” Mr. Ablakwa complained.
