National Security Advisor, Brigadier-General Joseph Nunoo-Mensah says he owes nobody an apology for his recent comments against strikes by Labour Unions.
According to Brigadier General Nunoo-Mensah, the seeming indiscipline within unions was not helping Ghana�s development.
Brigadier Nunoo Mensah over the weekend, challenged Ghanaian workers culminating in a number of strikes, to stop complaining and leave the country if they so desired.
�...Ghana is not a police state. Take your passports and get out of this country and don�t destroy the country for us; if you can�t sacrifice like what some of us have done, then get out. If the Kitchen is too hot for you, get out.��
His comments have generated massive backlash from the public, political parties and organized labour with some calling for his dismissal.
But speaking on Metro TV on Monday night, Brigadier-General Nunoo-Mensah said he stands by his comments.
�I started this kind of backlash because in Ghana, when there are issues to be brought up for discussion, nobody wants to talk about them," said Brigadier-General Nunoo Mensah.
�From Accra here to London to Washington, people are calling me since the issue came on board. What I said was that all of us should put in our efforts to build a better Ghana,� he added.
�The time has come to save this nation. This country is dying. Those of us who have been around for a long time can see that, that is why I�ve launched a moral crusade. �I will never resign.�
