Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Petroleum Commission, Emeafa Hardcastle
Executive Director of Peace Watch Ghana, Diana Nyonkopa Daniels, has asked the Acting Chief Executive Officer of the Petroleum Commission, Emeafa Hardcastle, to render a public apology and retract her insults hurled at Minority Chief Whip, Frank Annoh-Dompreh.
Commenting on the public altercation between Hardcastle and the Minority Chief Whip, she described the insults as unfortunate.
In her view, the appointee of the president should have been guided and known that she was in Parliament and needed to accord the MP some level of respect.
Appearing on Frontline on Rainbow Radio 87.5FM, Nyonkopa Daniels said offering an apology and retracting her insults would be of no harm.
She said Hardcastle should have exercised restraint and controlled her anger.
“I want to encourage her to apologise. I know you are a brilliant, well-educated, and pretty lady. Try your best and apologise. I know as humans we are sometimes provoked, but you would have to control your anger even in extreme provocation. Do your best and apologise so you are not tagged arrogant.
“…Ghanaians hate arrogant leaders, and so you should always avoid being tagged as such. Just as some appointees in the past exhibited arrogance in government and were criticised, appointees of this government would also be criticised,” she said.
“Ghanaians are now discerning, and we must not take them for granted. They monitor and keep an eye on the government. We don’t have to engage in activities that undermine the government and drag it through the mud. We have a responsibility to maintain humility and respect at all times. We can criticise people without using insults. Insulting people is a dirty thing to do, and we should not tolerate it in our political space,” she added.
