Host of TV3 New Day show, Johnnie Hughes has once again expressed his disappointment in the Akufo Addo led administration.
Speaking on Johnnie’s Bite show this morning, Johnnie Hughes made it clear that the army officer who usually stands by the president during occasions shouldn’t be the one to be doing such job. He explained that the rank of this person(bodyguard) in 2017 was a Colonel. He added that such rank permitted him to be the bodyguard of the president.
However, the rank of the bodyguard has been increased from a colonel to a Brigadier General. According to Johnnie Hughes, this officer shouldn’t be the bodyguard of the president because his current rank as a Brigadier General does not permit him to do so.
“In 2017 when the president came and by Military rule, his bodyguard was a colonel, it has two stars and one crown. Year 2022 and even before that the president’s bodyguard; and I will say it in public because it has never happened before. The president bodyguard is a Brigadier General. The ranks have changed. He has a star, a sword and coat of arms.”
The president is the Commander in Chief. So why should a General be following a General around. A General should not be following a general around. This is because, a General should be in charge of something and not to be carrying the president’s bag around. If the president can do it, then you can understand why the controller can also do it” he said.
Johnnie Hughes showed similar happenings at the Controller and Accountant’s General department where some officers there are being promoted, yet they are doing the old work they were doing in their previous rank. Johnnie Hughes believes the President Akufo Addo created such avenue for others to follow. He sent bold message to the president and urged him to do the needful because it is time to make sure that workers enjoy their years of service with happiness and not with envy.
