The Greater Accra Regional Minister, Henry Quartey, has issued a stern warning to some members of the New Patriotic Party for obstructing his “Making Accra Work Again” project.
According to the Ayawaso Central Constituency Legislator, some members of the NPP are working against him in the hope that he fails to achieve his goal of making the capital city, Accra, clean and safe for residents and commuters.
The Minister started the “Making Accra Work Again” project to instill discipline in the residents and maintain a hygienic environment in the capital city.
However, the project seems to be halting since, in recent times, not much has been seen of him working towards making Accra work again.
“Some people feel Henry is becoming too powerful”, so want to clip him.” He told Kwami Sefa Kayi on Peace FM
According to him, these people sabotaging him are members of his own New Patriotic Party (NPP).
“The President has never, on any day, told me that Henry, stop what you are doing. The Vice President has not, in fact, Office of the President has not but I will say that there is an internal sabotage from my own party. Yes! And that is what has led us to where we are…They (Office of the President) are happy with what we are doing but internally, some people are sabotaging the work of Henry Quartey and I wonder whether it is for the good of the people of this country or for their own selfish interest”, he stated.
The Regional Minister warned the saboteurs stating categorically that he won’t succumb to their machinations.
“I am not deterred by these things”, he stressed and asked “can we put our personal interest aside and think about Ghana first?”
When asked further to name and shame those diversionists in the New Patriotic Party, the Minister answered; “Ecclesiastes 3:1 says there is time for everything. One day, one day, one day, the cock will crow!”
