KT Hammond’s statement of they (current old politicians) not relinquishing political power to the youth has made a young man asked if he has “selective amnesia”.
The Adansi Asokwa lawmaker has said he sees “the future belongs to the youth but they want to rush and take over now. We are not going to allow you to take over.”
His comments stems from a section of youth who expressed vote of no confidence in the president at a youth concert in Accra.
The president was chanted to move off the stage when he mounted the podium to speak at a programme which was being monitored across the globe.
Whilst other hold that the youth only expressed their frustrations to the president amid his numerous promises without action which has plundered them into economic despondency, KT Hammond thinks they just lacked wisdom to have initiate such a reception for the president.
But responding to the MP’s statement Tuesday, October 4, 2022, Nii Aryee Opare, a Spokesperson for the Economic Fighters League noted the “if they say they won’t give us the mantle, we’ll make sure they can’t keep the mantle.”
Nii said the rate at which their administration is perpetually downgrading the country is so abhorring and the youth will make the country “very ungovernable for them” if their intention is to clinch to power without giving the young ones an opportunity.
He indicated KT Hammond was a youth when he entered Parliament over two decades ago suggesting a youth has no wisdom is an indictment on his own personality.
“If he has got selective amnesia, he should remind himself because when he went to Parliament about 20 or 21 years ago, he was 41 years. He was a youth. And let’s mark his 20 years in Parliament and you’ll know he knows nothing,” he lividly stated, adding that the man has insulted the youth who voted for him and his party since statistics show majority of those that voted in the 2020 polls were youth.
