JAK has cheapened the dignity of Ghana -Obed

Dr. Obed Asamoah the National Chairman of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has said that President John Agyekum Kufuor has cheapened the dignity of Ghanaians and Africans as a whole by allocating a building plot at the Independence Avenue to the Latter Day Saint ( The Mormons) and the signing of the Non Surrender Agreement with the US.

According to Dr. Asamoah , a racist church like the Mormons should not have been tolerated let alone allow to build in an area, which was a symbol of the struggle for the country’s independence.

‘’ Besides, by going to inspect the building this the President and the Vice President disgraced Ghanaians,’’ the NDC chairman told the students of the Sunyani Polytechnic branch of the NDC at Sunyani last week.

He disclosed that during the time NDC was in power, the church approach the government to allocate a place for them, but it declined because a church that a church that believed in racism did not serve to be cited at such an historic avenue.

Dr. Asamoah noted that what NPP government had done clearly indicated that the Danquah- Busia had no respect for the people of this country.Given the historic background of the church, the NDC chairman said it did not see any qualities in black people, believing that blacks were inferior beings.

On the Non-Surrender Agreement signed by the government with the US, Dr. Asamoah said that this, for example, made the common street sweeper in the US not subject to the International Criminal Tribunal, but President Kufuor being the highest public office holder on the soil of Ghana was subject to the jurisdiction of the court under the UN conventions.

According to him because the US signing was committing all sort of crimes globally, she was looking for avenues to exclude her citizens from being tried by the tribunal for crimes against humanity and were making small countries like Ghana to sign that agreement.
