Mills’ Gov’t Has No Balls…When JJ Speaks, “Minor Beings” Must Shut Up – Herbert Mensah

A self-confessed radical individual and a close associate of the Rawlingses, Herbert Mensah, says “there is massive uncontrolled internal disrespect” in the ruling National Democratic Congress (NDC) and has slammed some appointees in the President Mills administration, for having the gall to talk back to the founder of the party, Jerry John Rawlings.

According to him, instead of some of the “small boys” in the Mills’ administration keeping to themselves, they try to play ball with stalwarts of the ruling party by going on air to make “stupid and irrelevant statements”, in response to remarks by the ex-president.

Speaking in an interview with Kwami Sefa Kayi on Peace FM’s Kokrokoo Morning show, the former Asante Kotoko Chief Executive was particularly offended by some deputy minister’s decision to take it upon themselves to react to issues which deals with the presidency.

“As I often say to some people in the Castle, when the Buffalos are fighting, and they are trampling the earth and destroying the grass, some of you should not be involved in the capacity that you are in, you shouldn’t be making the kind of statements that…some of the small small boys have been making; irrelevant and stupid statements on air. They should be keeping quiet. They should be allowing presidency to deal with presidency. And this has been part of the problem,” he fumed.

He said it is inappropriate for “junior ministers of little standing” to take on the founder of the party, adding that there is some kind of uncontrollable internal disrespect in the party, but sadly the Presidency and National security is playing the ostrich.

He was of the opinion that if the ex-president decides to take on President Mills, it is up to him (Mills) to deal with it but not for some “minor beings”(deputy ministers) to respond to it.
