Just when the brouhaha over the controversial remarks made by the National Security Advisor to the Presidency, Brigadier General Joseph Nunoo-Mensah, appeared to have died down, the Deputy Communications Director of the National Democratic Party (NDP) has poured oil on fire.

Speaking on Oman FM, Ernest Owusu Bempah called on the appropriate authorities in the country to sanction General Nunoo-Mensah over the comments he made against the nation's labour force.

The National Security Advisor, addressing a gathering during the commissioning of a nine-classroom block he built for O’reilly Senior High School in Accra, told public sector workers who are dissatisfied with President Mahama's administration to find their way out of the country.

He insisted they pick up their passports and exit the country if they are not ready to sacrifice for the beloved nation.

“As I walk in the sun here from morning till evening, sometime I only drink orange juice to build a school for the future of our children. Then some teachers say that they won't teach them because they are on strike!. It is very sad that we toil with the future of our children,” he bemoaned.

“Every Tom, Dick and Harry gets up and is calling for a strike. If you don’t want the job, Ghana is not a police state, take your passport and get out of this country," he continued, stressing that if they can't "sacrifice like what some of us have done, then get out. If the kitchen is too hot for you, get out."

But according to the NDP Stalwart, such comments amount to treason and so, in his view, General Nunoo-Mensah should be summoned for interrogation.

Expressing disgust over General Nunoo-Mensah's remarks, he held strongly that such is "a treasonable statement. In any country which is serious, by now, General Nunoo Mensah should be questioned…That is the saddest thing any Ghanaian can get,” hence, inadvertently, calling on the appropriate authorities and government to charge him with treason.
