<p class="wp-block-paragraph">To the surprise of many, John Kuma Ampotuah , a Parliamentary aspirant in the Ashanti region of the Republic of Ghana has defied a Presidential stay-at home order, put in place as a precautionary measure to halt further spread of the ravaging COVID-19, and campaigned vigorously at Ejisu.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">According to Ebenezer Kofi
Amponsah of the Africa News Network, Ghanaians are wondering about the attitude
of people who seem to be preaching virtue and do vice. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">In specific reference, Ampotuah,
the parliamentary aspirant for Ejisu in the Ashanti region and the CEO of
National Entrepreneurship and Innovation Plan, NEIP, has disregarded the
president’s self-restriction imposition directive to solicit for votes ahead of
the NPP internal parliamentary primaries at Ejisu in the Ashanti region.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The CEO of NEIP and a
lawyer cannot tell Ghanaians and the people of Ejisu he is unaware of the
implications of defying the President directive by campaigning and meeting with
delegates in Krapa electoral area at the GRNMA Guest house on Monday afternoon.
</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">He later also met other
delegates at Fumesua at Kokobra between 6 and 8pm.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But what informed the
lawyer to flouts the President&#8217;s directives to meet with the party delegates at
two separate venues at Ejisu is still unknown. Isn&#8217;t he aware of all these protocols?
What is it that can&#8217;t be put on hold?</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Isn&#8217;t it surprising to
find lawyer John Kuma who is well enlightened to educate people on the
president directives to help prevent the spread of the deadly disease going on
a campaign spree soliciting for votes in the Ejisu constituency.? </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">His actions clearly
contravene the pronouncement on social distancing, and all other public
gatherings and protocols, the president has directed.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It will be recalled that
in 2009 when Nana Akufo Addo returned from a trip from abroad after the party&#8217;s
national delegates Congress in December 2007, </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"> ;Kuma asked the leadership of the NPP to call
President Nana Addo to order when a group of party supporters welcomed him at
KIA even without an outbreak of a disease in Ghana at the time.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">When asked why he raised
those concerns against President Nana Addo in 2009, he said &#8220;This has
nothing to do with personalities and I am looking at the Constitution of our
party and the wisdom the framers of the Constitution.”</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Lawyer John Kuma, who
knows the heart of the NPP Constitution and believes in the action he took then, ; should certainly apply same in ensuring that
he simply adheres to the imposition of the Restrictions Act 2020( Act 1012)
which clearly restrict the movement of people in the Gt. Accra and Gt. Kumasi
including Ejisu. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Apart from the delegates,
some constituents have also asked the leadership of the NPP at the regional and
constituency levels to crack the whip by offering the requisite sanctions
enshrined in their constitution if he is oblivious of the consequences of his
actions on the delegates and Ejisuman community as a whole.</p>
