Okujeto Ablakwa: Mills’ failure to recognize Chief Justice was human error
The Deputy Minister of Education, Samuel Okujeto Ablakwa has apologized for President Mills’ failure to recognise the Chief Justice Georgina Theodora Wood and Former President Kuffour in his acknowledgement.
Samuel Ablakwa said in an interview on Adom News on Thursday shortly after the President’s speech that “it was unfortunate the President mistakenly forgot to notice the presence of such personalities” but explained that it was due to human error.
“The president is a human being and is subjected to human error so we should rather concentrate on other issues” he stressed.
This is the third time the President is addressing the nation and thus such mistakes should be left off the records, Ablakwa added.
The Deputy Information Minister was reacting to President Mills’ third state of the address which he forgot to acknowledge the presence of chief Justice Georgina Wood.
Samuel Ablakwa noted that the Castle never expected former President Kuffour to be at the function hence President Mills did not notice his presence.
However, the Member of Parliament of Asante Akyem North Kwame Anim-Antwi stressed that the Minority loudly called the attention of the President but he intentional refused to pay attention.
According to Mr. Anim-Antwi, the President intentionally did not acknowledge them and has no excuse.
“This amounted to Killing the Cat”, the MP stated.
Kwame Anim-Antwi explains that the original speech of the President did not acknowledge the Chief Justice hence the President must immediately apologize.
He said there are three arms of government namely the Legislature, Executive and the Judiciary so for the President to forget to recognize the Judiciary it amounts to infringement of the constitution.
He emphasized that President Mills’ state of the nation’s address was divisive and partisan.
