Former Chief of Staff, Kwadwo Mpiani, says his age will not allow him to be engaged in active public service in the incoming administration of the President-elect, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.
In the view of the 76-year-old man, it was time to take the back seat and offer advice to young ones in whose hands this country would be entrusted to manage for the next four years, insisting that his body can no longer cope with the vigorous daily activities in public service.
The septuagenarian interacting with Serwaa Akoto on Kasapa Kasiebo on Kasapa 102.5 FM, Thursday, said it would be difficult for him to change his mind to accept any appointment in the in-coming NPP government.
“I have grown old so I am on pension now. If Nana calls me to come and serve in his administration – I will tell him that whatever way he wants me to help in his government I will, but to be appointed a minister, that one I will beg him. I am now 76 years and will want to operate behind the scenes,” he noted.
However, Mr. Mpiani said should the President-elect insist of appointing him to serve in the new governing administration, he will not decline the offer but will plead to serve for not more than two years.
“If he [Nana Akufo-Addo] insists on appointing me a minister, I will tell him to let me serve for one or one and half years or at least two years for somebody to come and continue. If he still wants me to serve for four years, I will beg him to change his mind,” he said.

Eric , Kafui and co , Not been on campaign platforms doesn't mean people are not working, Not everyone is built for campaign some people are better behind the scenes, Mrs Elizabeth Ohene, Mrs Oboshie Sai Coffie and many others among others were not seen talking on campaign platforms but do do a lot of work behind the scenes.Most NPP members should read Arthur Kennedys book.One of the main reasons NPP lost in 2008 was that everyone wanted to be seen on campaign platforms and on TV and radio.Dont believe everything you listen to especially when it comes from Kennedy Agyapong.
Forget about this man, he is just playing the mind game, he hates NANA to the core, Kuffour's mistake of appointing you a chief of staff will never be repeated
Who said you will be given any appointment. Traitor - you hated Akuffo Addo for nothing and now he is in power and you think he will offer you appointment. If I were, Akuffo Addo I will prosecute you for the mess you caused during the last NPP administration. We all fought for Akuffo Addo and likes of you, Andrew Awuni, Afoko, Kwabena Agyapong, Sammy Crabbe, Nana Ohene Ntow and a host of others were working hard behind the scenes against Akuffo Addo. Onyame ahu mo. Aben nti monmegye nko di.
Nobody will even consider you. You and your Nana haters have seen your size. SHAME!

Naaah, you have done your time. Now rest and let the youth build the nation. You can offer advice but not serve openly.
Now, you see your life? Don't even think of it, cos you will NOT be called up.
