An ex National Democratic Congress(NDC) Person in Parliament (MP) for the Chiana-Paga Constituency Rudolf Amenga-Etego provides wondered why national resources and monuments such as the Airport terminal has been named after hen house plotters, arguing that simply no such asset or monument should be named after those who have staged a coup in the united states going forward. For Mr Amenga-Etego, not even the founder from the NDC, Jerry John Rawlings, deserves to have any resource or monument named right after him. He wondered precisely why successive ‘Nkrumahist’ Governments did not rename Ghana’s International Airport that can be named after General Emmanuel Kotoka, the soldier who also, together with others, overthrew the particular constitutional Government of Doctor Kwame Nkrumah. He pondered why Ghana celebrates plus honours these coup plotters, whom he referred to as traitors. “Can anyone explain to myself why Dr Limann, Prof Atta Mills and Mister John Mahama failed to rename Ghana’s international airport? How can Kotoka be the guardian of our worldwide gateway? Who/what stopped all of them? We celebrate and honor traitors and expect our kids to be patriotic? ” This individual quizzed on social media. Then he went on to suggest that laws be made against naming nationwide assets and monuments right after coup plotters, insisting this type of thing is necessary in instilling patriotism in the Ghanaian, including that the law will make sure that supporters of General Kotoka have no way of having call him by his name named after national possessions or monuments. ” The particular Kotokaists[ supporters of Gen. Kotoka]have solid influence in the dominant celebrations of our republic but it can be time a movement advances to tackle that concern. If I have my own method there should be a legislation towards naming any national resource or monument after anyone who assumes power by way of a military coup including my very own party founder JJ Rawlings. It is not to hurt anybody… it is simply necessary that individuals draw red lines upon some matters going forward as being a nation. In the life associated with nations, we are still fairly young. It is not too late to achieve that, ” he explained. Within 1966, General Emmanuel Kotoka, working in concert with other people, overthrew Ghana’s first Leader Kwame Nkrumah. While individuals like Rudolf Amenga-Etego, believe naming the international airport right after him is wrong, other people have argued that background teaches both good and bad details and so his naming would be to remind Ghanaians of its problems of the past so that this kind of acts can be avoided simply by future generations.
