The Founding President of IMANI Ghana, Franklin Cudjoe has described the Minister of Food and Agriculture, Fiifi Fiavi Franklin Kwetey as a propagandist with less knowledge in the position he is holding.

His assertion was after the Agric Minister had labeled renowned legal practitioner, Ace Ankomah and members of civil society group, #OccupyGhana, [a group headed by Franklin Cudjoe] as "a bunch of hypocrites".

According to Fiifi Kwetey, members of the pressure group are loyalists of the main opposition New Patriotic Party [NPP] but operating under the guise of a civil society group.

Speaking on Radio Gold’s "Alhaji and Alhaji" programme on Saturday, the MP for Ketu South said: “All these phoney groups, that’s another massive deception, it tells you who they are.

“…The Ace Ankomah and the rest, these are people, lawyers pretending to be some kind of middle-class people and pretending to be neutral; bunch of hypocrites, they’ve always been NPP people”.

He continued: “They should stop lying to themselves and the people of Ghana. All these #OccupyGhana and the rest of them. Occupy Ghana reminds of the GBA that was at the forefront when NDC was in power, but went on retirement when their friends in the NPP came to power”.

However, Franklin Cudjoe took to Facebook to react to Fiifi Kwetey’s claims.

Read below what Franklin Cudjoe said

“The Minister for Agriculture, says all the learned men in OccupyGhana are "hypocrites". Without suggesting that he is, quite clearly, describing himself, I wonder how he would have earned his position had it not been for this line of thinking.

It is institutionalized it would seem. If I were him, I will be preparing my defense statements against a possible OccupyGhana legal notice/challenge to the financial mess his ministry has caused all taxpayers as a result of fraudulent deals with fertilizer subsidies and the fraud ongoing in the cocoa sector.

But there is more. On policy direction and vision in the wake of the EPAs, a serious-minded minister of agriculture would be minded about how to ensure Ghanaian agribusiness take advantage of the coming challenges.

But he has returned to his first love, vacuous propaganda which got him his job and is executing to perfection whilst making members of OccupyGhana popular as clearly there is impact!
