Show Ghanaians some respect - Samira Bawumia tells NDC appointees

Her call follows attacks on her person after she criticised President John Mahama and the governing NDC.

Speaking on Accra-based Joy FM she said: "when I speak of the hardships, I think that the government should be gracious to accept criticism from the people."

"Look we pay for their luxuries, we give them what they have. The people pay for the government so when people speak they should have the humility to listen and not to insult".

Recently Samira Bawumia who is seen as a new entrant into the Ghanaian political space traded jabs with President Mahama.

At the Akojo Park in Tema during the campaign launch of the campaign of the Greater Accra NPP, Samira Bawumia said all Ghanaians see in President Mahama is a corrupt leader.

"We are saying to the NDC that we see you alright, you want us to see you, we see you but we see incompetence, we see you but we see corruption, we see you but we see bad management, we see you but we see bad governance, we see you but we want change, we see you but we want Ghana to move forward."

This led to a reaction from a number of government appointees and other bigwigs of the NDC.

Notable among those who commented includes Ghana’s Ambassador to Saudi Arabia Alhaji Saeed Sinari at a rally described Samira Bawumia as a bad Muslim wife.

"If this girl with a mouth like that of crocodile should be offered to me for free to marry, I swear to God, I would add the dowry to her and throw her back to her parents.”

But Samira said government appointees must not attack their critics verbally since they are all observing the trends in the country.
