PREZ NANA ADDO'S ADDRESS TO THE NATION YESTERDAY WAS WASTE OF PRECIOUS TIME AND RESOURCES... APC.





The national communications director for All People's Congress (APC), Hon. Francis Ansah Tawiah has described President  AKUFO-ADDO'S ADDRESS TO THE NATION IS A WASTE OF PRECIOUS TIME AND RESOURCES.

According to him, president of the Republic of Ghana yesterday sought to rationalized the infamous Ghana- US military Co-operation Agreement in the wake of calls from
 Political parties,pressure groups and think Tank groups for certain terms (Clauses) in the agreement to be amended. The President failed to offer a greeting to Ghanaians by going ahead to re-echoed the defense by his communicators  by referring to political opponent with dissenting views unpatriotic,hypocrites and self-seeking politicians throughout his debate.

The president sought to equate 1998 and 2015 Ghana- US military agreement to the 2018 military agreement in a cogent way. The president in his 15 minute display failed to tell the good people of Ghana that the 2018 agreement is an enhanced agreement as stipulated by the memorandum which accompanied the draft agreement submitted to parliament for rectification" hence his khamikaze attempt to equate the previous agreements with the current one is not only unfortunate but waste of air time and resources

He said, the President Sought to justify the current Ghana- US Military agreement(Unimpeded access) to our relationship with World Bank, IMF and other international organizations. The president as a human right lawyer should have known better that, certain clauses in the current Ghana-US military Agreement doesn't only constitute sale of our sovereignty but direct sale of his position as the commander in chief of Ghana Armed Forces since the US military would be immune from court actions,
Import and Exports goods without any inspections at the Port.






The President failed to assure Ghanaians his intention to call for amendment of the Agreement For US military to obtain express visa to  Ghana, go through Immigration check point for inspection and live within the confines of the laws of Ghana without asking for unimpeded access to agreed facilities and free access to our radio spectrum and sea.This is simply unacceptable.

After listening to the president speak, am convinced his address to the nation was a waste of airtime and resource.
