Former Information Minister in the Kufuor Administration, Stephen Asamoah Boateng, says he abhors the �harassment� of the current Government by his own party.
��Give the Government some space�, he admonished the biggest opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) when he spoke in an interview with XYZ Breakfast Show host Moro Awudu on Monday.
According to him, �[whether] we like it or not, the election [dispute] has been settled; the NDC � our Cousins we call them � are in government. Let�s give them space. If we were in government, we would request space and time to implement our programmes, so why won�t we give them space�.
Mr. Asamoah Boateng, who is speculated to be one of 15 persons hoping to run for President in 2016 on the ticket of the NPP said: �It�s fair because at the end of the day, we are trying to serve the Ghanaian public and if you are just chasing and harassing the government and all that, it�s not good for the nation�.
�I do not think if the NDC fails, it�s to our advantage, no�, he observed.
He added that: �If the NDC fails, it�s to the disadvantage of all Ghanaians and if the NPP comes after their failure, we might struggle to pick it up and help Ghanaians, so let them get to a certain point and then everybody will know their capacity cannot go beyond that point, then they will look for the NPP and we�ll build it better than the NDC, that is my view of politics�.
