Anti corruption crusader, Sydney Casley Hayford
has likened President Mahama to Republican Presidential Candidate, Donald Trump,
following his [President Mahama]comments that a certain group of people are
blocking government’s transformation message.President Mahama in an
interview with the Ovation Magazine said a certain group of people have taken
control of the Ghanaian media and are blocking his government’s message, a
situation which in his view, makes it difficult for people to know the
truth.
“It is populism, a certain group has taken control of the media in
Ghana and it makes it difficult for people to discern the truth. So as much as
you are putting out the information, it is either being blocked or distorted,”
the President said.
But speaking on Citi FM’s News Analysis Programme,
The Big Issue, Casley Hayford pointed out that, government has no business
making such an allegation when it “controls the national media
platform.”
He believes the President sought to create confusion with his
comments.
“When you make statements like this and you use these nefarious
cabal, these nefarious group of people who are not indentifiable then you are
behaving like Jerry John Rawligs and you are behaving like a Donal Trump who is
calling for a complete destruction of the world because we will be voting
Hillary Clinton into authority.
“When people don’t like to accept what is
the fact and what is the real truth and you try and break up what civil society
and sensible people are trying to establish in the world then you create so much
confusion .” |
