Chief Executive Officer of the Forestry Commission, Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie, popularly known as Sir John has taken a swipe at the General Secretary of the opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), Johnson Asiedu Nketia, urging him to go to the law school.

According to him being in opposition is a disease that if you are not careful, you will end up saying things ignorantly.

Speaking on Okay FM's 'Ade Akye Abia' programme, the former General Secretary of the ruling government explained that though the court has made a ruling about the removal of Heads of Public Corporations as a result of a change of government, he will advise his party to go and seek review in court.

I am sure there is more to the ruling and that if the Attorney General should go to court there will be more interpretation to the ruling.

"You see when there is a change in government, you will not wait for the government of the day to replace before you leave, you just have pack bag and baggage and leave clandestinely and not wait to witch hunt out or sacked."

"For my friend Asiedu Nketia, I am sure he does not understand the law because you cannot order people around to go back for their positions just because there is a court ruling, that is why I am asking him to spend his opposition years in the law school, at least it will afford him the opportunity to appreciate basic court rulings," he added.
