Former Member of Parliament for Mfantseman East Constituency, Hon. Kuntu Blankson, has taken a slight jab at former President Kufour, for his open comment on how President Mahama and his team of ministers should handle the incessant labour actions that has rocked the nation in recent times and caused major discomfort for most Ghanaians. Hon. Kuntu Blankson was of a firm opinion that as statesman and former President of Ghana, Kufour should be a fatherly figure and be mindful of issues he can spew in public. He indicted him of wrong doing and pointed out that his open criticism of government is equal to engaging himself in active politics. �if former President Kufour thinks certain things went wrong in the way issues have been handled, he could have gone to the President and drawn his attention that �my son, this isn�t the way to go about it�. "If he(President Mahama) refuses to listen, I would have no problem if ex-president Kufour comes out and speak like he did,� he observed. Former President Kufour, in an interview on Peace FM, took time to explain how his administration carpet strike actions under the carpet and made sure they worked around the problem to ensure it never exploded like what the nation is currently experiencing. Dr. Kufour, is on record to have mentioned that if President Mahama is to instill �truth� in his functionaries, he is optimistic the current administration would encounter minimal strike actions.
