Kuntu Blankson accuses 'saboteurs' of causing havoc in govt
A leading member of the governing National
Democratic Congress (NDC), George Kuntu Blankson
has blamed the problems in government on saboteurs
seeking to undermine President John Mahama.

According to him, the actions of some government
appointees who are not members of the NDC are
unacceptable and take attention away from the work
being done by the Mahama-led administration for
Ghanaians.

“If people who do not know how the NDC was
formed are playing key roles in government; this
is what happens,” he bemoaned.

Kuntu Blankson made the comment on Peace FM’s
morning show, Kokrokoo Wednesday while discussing
the ongoing strike by public sector workers over
government’s involvement in the management of
their second tier pension funds.

The workers want to be the ones to select a
trustee to manage funds but government insists
that as the employer it has the right to select a
trustee.

A meeting between representatives of the striking
workers and the Employment minister, Haruna
Iddrisu on Tuesday was adjourned after both
parties were unable to find a solution to the
issues.

But Kuntu Blankson believes some “evil
children” in government are inciting the workers
against the government.

The former Mfantseman East Member of Parliament,
urged the ministers in charge not to treat the
issue with kid gloves since according to him, it
has the potential to make the NDC unpopular ahead
of the 2016 general elections.
