Chief Executive Officer of the Environmental Protection Agency, Henry Kwabena Kokofu has slammed Oliver Barker-Vormawor and others whose utterances sound like they yearn for a coup d'état to happen in Ghana.
Oliver Barker-Vormawor, the leader of the #FixTheCountry demo, was arrested by the Police following his comments on social media about plotting a coup.
On his Facebook, Mr. Barker-Vormawor posted ''if this E-Levy passes . . . I will do the coup myself. Useless Army!".
He has been charged with treason felony.
Discussing the issue on Peace FM's ''Kokrokoo'', Mr. Kokofu expressed disgust stressing a coup doesn't solve the problems of the citizenry.
He reminded Ghanaians of the country's past from the country's First President, Dr. Kwame Nkrumah's era when coup d'états occurred in the nation emphasizing the citizen's living conditions became harder during those times than they are today.
He added that Ghana's economy in the worse shape is far better than having a Military takeover.
''Even if NPP, CPP or PPP isn't good, it's not the same as having a Military takeover where there is no law and mercy but we have experience to guide us'', he responded to Mr. Barker-Vormawor's comments.

Yes, anyone who saw the 1979 and 1981 coups in Ghana will not wish for another military takeover. Unfortunately the behavior of so called politicians in Ghana today makes one feel that the military are far better. Take General Acheampong Supreme military council for instance ie 1972-1978, i.e. 6 years. Acheampong did not go for any foreign Loan, with the local currency he constructed the Tono irrigation dam in navrongo, up to today it's the largest dam in the north if not the whole country, he built lowcsost houses for workers, go to WA, Lawra, Tumu, Bolga, navrongo, Bawku, Sandema , nurses quarters in same places, he constructed catering rest houses in WA, Bolga and tamale, he built stadia in all the districts in the then upper region, agriculture saw a boom and was a profitable venture under Acheampong with his operation feed yourself programme, the Kpong hydro dam was Acheampongs project, the established the upper regional agricultural development program URADEP, under Acheampong Ghana hosted the African nations cup and won it for the third time, he built 5 two storey blocks which now houses the regional offices in WA the upper west capital including the RCC, Acheampong constructed the Bamboi bridge to link then brong Ahafo region to present day savanna and upper west region, the dahwhenya irrigation project was an Acheampong's project , teshie nungua estates was constructed by Acheampong. All these happened in a matter of 6 years without any foreign loans. Today if you see NPP or NDC undertaking any giant project, bet me, there are hidden benefits, the kickbacks is the motivating factor not the project itself. Rawlings PNDC created the upper west region, extended the national electricity grid i.e. Akosombo to the whole of northern Ghana, bet me if one had left the extension of reliable power to the north under NDC or NPP it wouldn't have happened, even if they will do it, it will be measured like prisoners food rations. If the so called politicians continue to represent themselves, wives and children instead of the people, bet me,coups will continue to be popular, an honest military leader is better than a civilian government crook. Ask yourself why Ghanaian presidents, ministers, MMDCEs and CEO's are losing their respect. The citizens see them as crooks who come to create, loot and share as stated by one Ghanaian judge. Up to date no politician can come out to challenge him.
