Ghanaian broadcast Journalist, Nana Aba Anamoah has subtly thrown shades at politician KT Hammond over his recent comments about youths of Ghana.
Kobina Tahir (K.T) Hammond, a member of parliament for Adansi Asokwa, expressed anger at how President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo was jeered at the just-concluded Global Citizen Festival.
The politician stated that it was improper for young people to insult the president and, by extension, older members of society, especially for political reasons, in an interview with journalists that Accra-based Joy FM shared with journalists.
He asked the young people to always maintain their modesty and show appropriate respect to older people.

According to K. T. Hammond, the platform from which the president spoke was not political enough to justify the response some attendees gave him.
“We don’t live in a country and do that. Let’s be humble. Whatever we do, the president is the executive head of this country. When he came, he didn’t say anything. It wasn’t even a political platform.
“We consult the elderly on matters because they are wise. But because of politics, we do anything with the elderly. Let it even be a political platform that you can heckle but it wasn’t even a political rally.
“The youth should respect the elderly. We shouldn’t let it be that because of politics we can insult everyone. It’s not possible for the youth to be left to manage the affairs of the country.
“They won’t know how to do it in the first place. You don’t understand. You are galivanting about in this town with beard, nothing is in your heads,” he said in the Twi parlance.
