�Does it mean that the President is also aware that the various industrial actions are politically contrived, agitated by the main opposition party? If that is the case, why is government...negotiating with them in a fine way?...we�ve now left the realm of speculation and so it is now incumbent on them to name and shame those political elements...He�s served his nation well but this gaffe seems to be gargantuan,� Kweku Baako Jnr. The National Security Advisor�s claims that the New Patriotic Party (NPP) are behind the numerous strike actions in the country, has been described as a gargantuan gaffe and a collateral damage to government. Brigadier General Nunoo-Mensah (rtd), on Tuesday, accused the main opposition party of attempting to capture political party through the back door. According to him, the NPP is doing this by instigating agitations on the labour front and �using the workers as Trojan horses to take power through the backdoor.� The retired military officer told Accra based Radio Gold that per his training in intelligence gathering, he can conclude that the NPP is attempting to take power by making the country ungovernable through numerous strike actions. But speaking to the issue on �Kokrokoo� on PeaceFM, Abdul Malik Kweku Baako Jnr told Kwami Sefa Kayi, host of the show that �apart from it being an insult to the workers and all those groups involved, it does more damage to government�s integrity; a collateral damage. It is not fair to the leaders and the rank and file of those movements that are agitating� He said if the National Security Advisor�s accusation is anything to go by then it is incumbent on government to name and shame those behind that act. �Does it mean that the President is also aware that the various industrial actions are politically contrived, agitated by the main opposition party? If that is the case why is government sitting and negotiating with them in a fine way? With what happened as far as I am concerned, it was not thinking out the solution. It is a very serious statement to make. Accusing the groups of being Trojan horses as the national security advisor, we�ve now left the realm of speculation and so it is now incumbent on them to name and shame those political elements and the labour elements. He�s served his nation well but this gaffe seems to be gargantuan,� he indicated.
