The three, Alistair Nelson, Godwin Ako Gunn and Salifu Maase, alias Mugabe, are serving a four-month jail term handed to them by the Supreme court for contempt.

Government appointees who signed the Montie FM trio petition should be sacked, this is according to the Director of operations for the Progressive People’s Party (PPP), Nana Ofori Owusu.

The duo, Alister Nelson and Godwin Ako Gunn were threatened to kill justices of the supreme court on an Accra-based Montie FM.

Pro-NDC group Research and Advocacy Platform (RAP), opened a petition book gathered over 18 million signatories from government appointees including the deputy minister of Education in charge of Tertiary, Sam Okudzeto Ablakwa, the Minister of Tourism, Culture and Creative Arts, Elizabeth Ofosu-Agyare and the Education Minister, Jane Naana Opoku Agyemang

Speaking on an Accra-based Citi FM, Mr Ofori Owusu stated that the decision by these officials to sign the petition amounts to gross insubordination against the authority of the President.

He, therefore, charged president Mahama to sack government appointees who signed the petition book.

“We found it bizarre that the Ministers of the President who are appointed by the President and other high party functionaries appointed by the President will embarrass their President openly and tell their President that you are sleeping and that you don’t know that there is an Article 72, so me the Minister that you gave me a job, I am openly defying and ridiculing you.

It is a disrespect against the Authority of the President. The President should go through that book and everybody that signed the petition should be sacked. This act is gross insubordination to the President. It is an attempt to ridicule him in public.” he said
