The Member of Parliament (MP) for North Tongu, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa has debunked the legislator for Adansi Asokwa, KT Hammond’s comments that the youth are not fit to govern the nation.
K.T. Hammond in reacting to the heckling of President Akufo-Addo at the Global Citizen Festival remarked that it is the elders in society who are consulted when there is an issue to be resolved and not the young ones, “whose heads are like coconuts.”
He further declared that the youth are not worthy enough to govern the affairs of the state when left in their care.
His comments did not sit well with some Ghanaian youths who took to social media to express their displeasure.
On his part, the North Tongu MP remarked that his colleague lawmaker has erred in his comments.
Mr. Ablakwa in a tweet remarked that “K.T. Hammond is terribly wrong & it’s an outlandish fallacy for him to claim the youth aren’t fit to lead.”
“The very people who hail us when leadership produces positive results do not deserve to be vilified when they express disappointment in leaders for their abysmal performance”, he further defended the youth.
