The New Patriotic Party (NPP) Deputy General Secretary, Haruna Mohammed, has criticised the Presidency for delegating Presidential Staffer Nana Yaa Akyenpim Jantuah to receive the party's petition, describing the decision as “disrespectful”. “Our reservation comes from the fact that the government has not taken the people of Ghana seriously,” he said. Mr Mohammed maintained that the issues raised by the party threaten Ghana’s democratic institutions and therefore deserved a more serious response from the Presidency. Mr Mohammed argued that delegating Nana Yaa Jantuah to receive the petition failed to reflect the significance of the concerns raised by the party. He further claimed that the Presidency’s decision created the impression that the government was unwilling to engage meaningfully with the opposition despite the presence of senior NPP officials and representatives of other political parties.
