Central Regional Secretary of the opposition New Patriotic Party (NPP), Kwamena Duncan has described President Mahama�s new appointment of a Senior Communications Adviser as �a vote of no confidence�.
A statement signed by Mr Mahama Ayariga, Information and Media Relation Minister indicated that President John Dramani Mahama has appointed Mr. Ben Malor, a former BBC presenter and Chief Executive Producer of UN Radio as Senior Communications Adviser and Head of Communications at the Presidency.
Many have criticized this appointment as government already has a Ministry of Information and a communication directorate.
Kwamena Duncan told Kwami Sefa Kayi on Wednesday�s edition of �Kokrokoo� that the new appointment means the �Information Ministry did not do the work they were charged to do�.
�Any government that means business will get their communication right from the onset�This new appointment is a vote of no confidence in the Minister and his deputies; the new appointment means government is not satisfied with the kind of work they have done so far�It also means that the President is so worried about the happenings (in the country); how the economy is running otherwise what will prompt him to do that. It is because something is not going right,� he indicated.
He described Mr. Malor as a very decent person but added: �he should understand that he has a huge burden on him. It might be one of the appointments he will not be happy to handle maybe in his lifetime.�
