The Youth Wing of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) is asking the rank and file of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) to call Member of Parliament for Adansi-Asokwa Constituency Kobina Tahir Hammond to order.
“Failure to do so will mean their tacit endorsement of his reckless comments,” a statement issued by National Youth Organiser George Opare Addo on Wednesday, September 28 said.
It comes in the wake of KT Hammond’s criticism of the youth following the weekend’s booing of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo at the Global Citizen Festival at the Black Star Square.
The NPP MP lashed out at the youth and said they have shown that they cannot govern if handed the reins.
But the NDC youth, in condemning the comments, indicated that this is not the first time KT Hammond nor the NPP “has sought to question our hardworking youth”.
“Akufo-Addo, after numerous calls for him to reshuffle his ministers, boldly declared that the calls were from unemployed youth.
“As shameful as that sounded, the President has his praise singers defending him.”
