The vociferous National Democratic Congress (NDC) Central Regional Propaganda Secretary, Ben Allotey Jacobs, has rubbished the noise being made in the country by a group calling itself Alliance For Accountable Governance (AFAG) that President John Evans Mills has disregarded the rule of law and must be impeached.

Reacting to the call by AFAG in Cape Coast, on Thursday, Allotey Jacobs said the group comprises of a bunch of disappointed New Patriotic Party (NPP) members whose aim of getting political appointments were dashed by the NPP's defeat in the 2008 general elections.

In an interview, Mr. Allotey Jacobs said the AFAG members were hoping to benefit from positions such as Ministers, specials assistants and ambassadors among others, but the victory of President Mills was a bombshell that shattered their dreams, and they have now decided to form a disgruntled group (AFAG) to make noise on the streets.

He said their call for impeachment of President Mills can also be likened to day-dreaming because they have lost the elections and were hoping to quickly do something to compensate their defeated candidate and for people to know that they are still around.

AFAG had planned to go on a demonstration and were restrained by the police who sought a court order to bar the group from demonstrating, but the deputy Minister of information, Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa's press release, emanating from the President that advised the police to allow the group to demonstrate.

This action from the President sparked another argument from the same group (AFAG), which claimed that the President's order through the Minister was an infringement on the independence of the judiciary, and he must be impeached.
