A leading member of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP) has launched a rather scathing attack on the National Security Advisor describing him in unsavory words as the country�s �number one vampire� and an �associate crookish monster�. Brigadier General Nunoo-Mensah was tagged with that seedy description following remarks he passed over the weekend which appears not to have gone down well with labour unions and the opposition NPP. Commissioning a nine-unit classroom block for O�Reilly Senior High last Saturday, he slammed workers who use strikes as a means to address their salary grievances. He also suggested that the salaries of striking workers be suspended, calling them �indiscipline� and unpatriotic enough to sacrifice for the country as some have done. But discussing the issue on Okay Fm, the NPP�s National Youth Organizer, Emmanuel Atefuah Danso, opined that the National Security Advisor was part of the group former President Rawlings�s recently alluded to as �crookish monsters� within the John Mahama administration bent on running down the Presidency by their disparaging comments and offensive conduct. ��.a whole security advisor to the President on national security matters, speaking like this, shows where the country is going under President Mahama. He is rather a threat to national security of this country, because, in the heat of Labor Union�s penchant for industrial action he is encouraging workers to cause turmoil and push the nation back to brain drain system we have fought so hard to curb in the country,� he added.
